David Walker (SAS)

Risks' 'security consultant' was David Walker also with KMS Ltd (full of ex-SAS members and known as 24 SAS, the name is an acronym of a south Arabian slang for under the counter and their motto is a pun of the old SAS motto; 'who pays wins'). KMS is said to be one of the world's largest recruitment agencies for mercenaries. Oliver North used Walker as part of the contra operation, Richard Secord hired him to fly missions into Nicaragua and sabotage Soviet helicopters. KMS also helped Ian Smith in Rhodesia, Sri Lanka and assassination operations in the Lebanon. Herman & O'Sullivan say this is all done with close co-operation with the FO and MI6: "all the work Walker gets from the Saudis comes through the British Foreign Office". In the US Walker's people receive diplomatic immunity and carry State Dept. ID.
