Or the UK secret service can do it. Wouldn't be the first time.

Out of interest, when was the last time the UK secret service did this?

In 1989 MI5 assisted loyalist paramilitaries in murdering Pat Finucane, human rights lawyer. Not exactly "kidnapped", but in many ways being shot 14 times, at point blank range, in front of your children at home, is pretty bad.

If he said, then it wouldn't be a secret.
