THE WEEK, Page 23WORLDEt Cetera
The Hit Team hit German police, acting on information from
files of the old East German secret service, the Stasi, arrested
11 suspected operators in a network that committed as many as
500 crimes, including murder and burglary. Two of those in
custody are former Stasi generals based in Berlin. Police say
the Stasi recruited the ring of criminals during the 1970s to
kill those it considered enemies of the East German state and
to perform other missions. The Stasi paid at least 21 Westerners
about $1.25 million to commit the crimes.
