| According to reports, Mohadi named Witherspoon, Simon Mann and Nicholas du Toit as part of the group being held in Zimbabwe.
And according to a former security analyst on mercenary activity, Witherspoon, along with former British Special Air Service member Mann and Nicholas du Toit, formed the basis of the mercenary company Executive Outcomes. The analyst, who requested to remain anonomous, said: "Executive Outcomes (EO) closed shop in 1999, but if Witherspoon and Mann are involved in this operation then I believe EO's core group is once again operating. "Man and Du Toit are former South African Defence Force members; they are fighting troops. They are not deminers and they are not trainers. Mann was one of the founders of EO and has links to the British SAS. He's the man on the ground directing operations. These are highly sophisticated soldiers and they don't come cheap - it would be interesting to see who was paying them." |
Yes, won't it?
