The investigation brought to light alarming evidence that Spear Operations didn't just carry out targeted killings; they also trained Emirati officers in assassination techniques.
These skills were then used by the Emiratis to target and eliminate Yemeni civilians whom the UAE considered political enemies. Targeted killings in Yemen continue to this day.
