June 4, 2002 -- WASHINGTON - The CIA has created a paramilitary unit to deal specifically with terrorists overseas, officials said yesterday. The unit "is taking the fight to terrorists in sanctuaries such as Afghanistan," one official said, declining to identify the other countries in which it may be operating.

The official said the unit is drawing personnel from the CIA's existing paramilitary force, which is part of the agency's Special Activities Division

The size of the new unit is classified.

Its operatives work under the command of the CIA's counterterrorism center, where intelligence, military and law-enforcement officials coordinate activities.
