Wednesday, July 23, 1997 -- ASSOCIATED PRESS
MONROVIA, Liberia - Seven years ago, fighters loyal to warlord Charles Taylor killed five of Samukah Corneh's brothers as they tried to flee Liberia at the start of its civil war.

Mercenaries; Messiahs of Terror (Mid/Alternative)
By Issa A. Mansaray, ExpoTime (Freetown) -- 8 June 2001
Vienna, Austria - The 'Mercs' as they are known for short, prefer to be called 'military consultants,' or 'military advisors' as in the case of the South African and United Kingdom 'Executive Outcomes' (EO). Even with all the colourful names they give to themselves, they are still considered as 'hired soldiers' or 'contract soldiers' that kill for gain in countries of conflicts out of their boundaries. The misgiving about mercenaries is that they sometimes help to fuel conflicts and can easily switch sides to the highest bidder in any war zone.
