A report says that US military has developed a secret army that is trained to assassinate perceived enemies anywhere in the world, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The report, published by prominent US daily The Washington Post reveals that the American military has developed an organization called the Joint Special Operations Command, or J-SOC, which is tasked with killing, imprisoning and interrogating suspected terrorists around the world.

J-SOC holds terror suspects in jails under its own control and has reportedly carried out 10 times as many covert military operations as the CIA in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the Post article published in its Friday edition.

US President Barack Obama has authorized the J-SOC to select individuals on its own terror list, and then to kill, rather than capture them.

Analysts widely believe that many of J-SOC's operations are akin to terror assassinations that are clearly in violation of US laws.

The clandestine organization has claimed responsibility for the assassination of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. It is estimated that the terror force has so far carried out over a thousand such operations.

The US has reportedly spent over USD 1 trillion of its taxpayers funds on the wars in imposed on Iraq and Afghanistan since 2001, using the suspicious September 11, 2001 terrorist incidents in New York and Washington as the pretext.

The US-led war in Afghanistan, with civilian and military casualties at record highs, has become the longest war in US history.
