A suicide bomber in Afghanistan has left imperialist intelligence communities stunned after he killed 7 CIA members and a Jordanian intelligence officer last week. When the story first broke, the first question raised was how did this man get so deep behind the wire and so close to high ranking officials? The answer is simple now: the bomber was working as a double agent, recruited by the CIA to penetrate the most inner workings of al-Qaida.
The bomber seized the opportunity of a face to face meeting with CIA officials to blow himself up after apparently making a deal with elements of the Pakistani Taliban.
what does this have to do with anything??
ReplyDeleteAny story pertaining to the State's misuse, abuse, or failed use of an informant is interesting to us. It demonstrates the ineffectiveness of the tactic and reinforces negative connotations for both sides of any conflict.
