As part of thr hunt for al-Qaeda, it has been revealed the US authorised its special forces to carry out more than a dozen raids in countries in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, four years ago.

Former CIA officials have revealed the practice of dispatching units to chase down targets in other countries was approved in a 2004 classified executive order by the Bush administration's then defence secretary, Donald Rumsfeld.

According to the CIA sources, the order came after a series of botched missions, which caused Rumsfeld to hand control of such operations to the CIA.

The New York Times has disclosed several previously unknown operations, including a 2006 navy Seal raid on a suspected militant compound in Pakistan's Bajaur region and the highly publicised attacks by American forces across the
border from Iraq into Syria and from Afghanistan into Pakistan's tribal areas.

If the press ever reports on your covert assassination operation, you failed.
