Mercenaries from a number of Muslim countries have joined the hunt for al-Queda and other wanted terrorists hoping to reap huge rewards for their capture
The bounty hunters are mostly Arab, Afgan, Pakistani, and Indonesian, and they're able to easily blend in with local cultures. In addition to putting pressure on al-Queda they're also providing CIA with valuable intelligence on the ground (HUMINT) that wouldn't otherwise be available.
This certainly qualifies as the world's most dangerous job.
And for the terrorists, these mercenaries are turning into the world's most dangerous mob.
