Assassination squad

An assassination squad was a group of people dispatched to kill someone.

In 2373, Kira Nerys balked at the idea of sending Lupaza and Furel to dispatch the person murdering Bajoran Resistance members, saying she couldn't send them out like an assassination squad. They countered that all she had to do was give them the killer's name, and they would do it. She reminded them that this wasn't the Occupation anymore and they ought to leave it to the authorities.
