A former Special Forces commando ran a UAE assassination program from a $7 million San Diego mansion, and charged $1.5 million a month for it

Court documents allege that Abraham Golan, a former Special Forces commando, made millions by running an assassination program for the United Arab Emirates from his $7 million mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, a wealthy suburb of San Diego. Golan has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit filed by Anssaf Ali Mayo, a Yemeni politician who claims he barely escaped a deadly plot carried out by Golan’s team.

According to NY Post, The lawsuit says that Golan, along with former Navy SEAL Issac Gilmore, launched Spear Operations Group in August 2015. The two allegedly pitched a deal to the UAE to carry out “targeted assassinations” on its behalf, and Spear was reportedly paid $1.5 million a month, with extra bonuses for successful killings. The deal was allegedly arranged over lunch at an Italian restaurant at a UAE military base in Abu Dhabi.
