This past spring, onetime sergeant Joseph Hunter, 48, and two other former soldiers agreed to murder an agent of the Drug Enforcement Administration and one of that agency's confidential informers, both in Liberia, for a total of $800,000, federal prosecutors said on Friday in Manhattan. The plot had been proposed by men who held themselves out as Colombian drug traffickers, an indictment says. "The charges tell a tale of an international band of mercenary marksmen who enlisted their elite military training to serve as hired guns for evil ends," Preet Bharara, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York, said.
