Suicide Bomber Was a Regular CIA Informant, Had Been to Chapman Base Multiple Times

The suicide bomber who killed at least six Central Intelligence Agency officers in a base along the Afghan-Pakistan border on Wednesday was a regular CIA informant who had visited the same base multiple times in the past, according to someone close to the base's security director.

The informant was a Pakistani and a member of the Wazir tribe from the Pakistani tribal area North Waziristan, according to the same source. The base security director, an Afghan named Arghawan, would pick up the informant at the Ghulam Khan border crossing and drive him about two hours into Forward Operating Base Chapman, from where the CIA operates.

Because he was with Arghawan, the informant was not searched, the source says. Arghawan also died in the attack.

7. This wasn't blowback from innocent people being killed.

It was blowback from militants getting killed.

4. I wonder if any heroin changed hands?

There's lots of it in Afghanistan, and lots of money to tempt people. Futile endless wars tend to breed corruption over time.
