Putin’s Assassination State

Ethical Oil

All states have their enemies. Just a few days ago, the United States succeeded in taking out Anwar al-Awlaki, a senior recruiter, propagandist and organizer for al-Qaeda, with a drone attack in Yemen. Earlier this year, U.S. forces flew into Pakistan to seek and destroy Osama bin Laden.

And this week, a leaked document shows that Vladimir Putin has been arranging for his own enemies to be assassinated. As Britain’s Daily Telegraph reports:

The Russian secret service authorised the “elimination” of individuals living overseas who were judged to be enemies of the state and ordered the creation of special units to conduct such operations, according to a document passed to The Daily Telegraph.
