Eliminate the Renegade Threat

Eliminate the Renegade Threat was a mission conducted in late 1974 by the private military group Militaires Sans Frontières, contracted by the KGB.

Prelude
During the United States' involvement in the Laotian Civil War, a sniper team belonging to the United States Marine Corps, codenamed Glaz and Palitz, conducted a lot of horrific acts against Soviet-aligned people during their time until their retirement shortly after U.S. involvement was phased out.

Assassination attempt
The MSF eventually ended up hired by the KGB to conduct an aassassination on Glaz and Palitz. The ones responsible for the hiring were KGB contacts that MSF's second in command, Kazuhira Miller, had been acquainted with when he acted as a trainer for a Colombian guerilla group, prior to his joining MSF, also making clear that they weren't connected to another KGB agent that had hired them for an earlier operation, Vladimir Aleksandrovich Zadornov.

On December 3, 1974, at 13:18, the MSF commander, Big Boss, infiltrated a base in Cuba with the orders to assassinate Glaz and Palitz.

Aftermath
After the two had been neutralized, Miller speculated that with them out of the way, the Cold War might see an early end. However, even though the mission was a success, they noticed that Glaz and Palitz had a suspicious level of fear of the place, even moreso than death itself, causing them to become suspicious of what was actually ocurring at the camp.
