- <p> 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.
