Actually, I doubt there would be any need for the Patrician to actually sic the Assassins and Thieves Guilds onto the Black Org.
It'd fall under the heading of "What part of monopoly do you not understand?"
Remember, neither guild is particularly fond of free-lancers, even though the Assassins are known to ignore the (very) low-level competition.
And let us not forget the trolls who have got their own mafia set up and almost certainly will take just as dim a view of competition as the guilds, and would thus cover everything not included by 'stealing' and 'assassination.'
Random murders of non-important people might be safe; the thugs seem to still lack their own guild.

You're right of course, but I tried to take Teh Ebilness of the Black Ops into account. They wouldn't go down without a fight, and they'd certainly cause some casualities... sooner or later, some of them guild bosses would turn up before Vetinari to complain. ;)
