Merchants of Death in Iraq

The following quote stood out as I read the linked article. First time I've heard mention of this group of "special forces". Any guesses as to who this group might be? <br><br><!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>"This force is not totally unknown to us here in Fallujah," Ahmed, who witnessed the incident from a nearby house told Inter Press Service (IPS). "They are a special force of Americans that assassinates more people than it arrests. Ahmed described the force from the helicopters as "big men with long hair and beards, some wearing earrings, and others with little black caps on the top of their heads at the back"."<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br><br><!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Middle_East/HG13Ak02.html">Merchants of death in Iraq</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <p></p><i></i>

Long hair and beards? A group of ZZ Top fans perhaps?<br><br>As to the guys with the "little black caps on the top of their heads at the back" -- gee, I have no idea who that could be referring to. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :| --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/indifferent.gif ALT=":|"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>
