While some US troops are told to avoided casualties, others are told to take no prisoners. Groups known as capture-kill teams operate on a separate, less transparent set of rules when targeting high value individuals.
Pratap Chatterjee, a senior editor at Corp Watch said these teams are made up on joint Special Forces teams from members of the US military branches, CIA and other government bodies. They work to find those the US suspects are involved in Al-Qaeda, Taliban and other high value groups.
“They look for people on a target list, it's called the joint prioritize effects list, there are 200 names on that. Their job is to track these people down and bring them back for interrogation and imprisonment or if the case may warrant, actually kill them. So, they work 24/7 looking for people the US suspects,” said Chatterje.
