| | Antiterrorist Unit (ATU) |
 | | During 2002 ATU members increasingly were involved in criminal activities such as theft, looting, and murder in Monrovia. |
 | | For example, on June 19, an ATU officer and presidential guards opened fire on a taxicab in Monrovia and killed a 6-year-old child and critically injured his mother and the driver. |
 | | In September Lt. Issac Gono, a driver attached to ATU chief Charles Taylor Jr.'s command, was beaten to death by his colleagues as a disciplinary measure for denting a vehicle. |
