Death squad

A death squad is an armed group that conducts extrajudicial killings or forced disappearances of persons for the purposes such as political repression, assassinations, torture, genocide, ethnic cleansing, or revolutionary terror. These killings are often conducted in ways meant to ensure the secrecy of the killers' identities. Death squads may have the support of domestic or foreign governments (see state terrorism). They may comprise a secret policeforce, paramilitary militia groups, government soldiers, policemen, or combinations thereof. They may also be organized as vigilantes. When death squads are not controlled by the state, they may consist of insurgent forces or organized crime, such as the ones used by cartels. Death squads are illegal in the United Kingdom however in the Republic of Gain and California they are notoriously volatile and have no laws against them. Many are ex Gainese Special Forces. At the start of the Gainese-Russo War II, the Gainese sent Death Squads into Russian Border Towns.
