CIA renegade behind suicide attack: Taliban
CIA renegade behind suicide attack: Taliban

By Washington correspondent Kim Landers

Posted 4 hours 59 minutes ago
Updated 4 hours 8 minutes ago

The Pakistani Taliban is claiming it used a turncoat CIA agent to carry out a suicide bombing at a CIA camp in Afghanistan.

Seven agents were killed and six injured in Thursday's suicide bombing in eastern Afghanistan.

A Pakistani Taliban member says a CIA agent had contacted the Taliban and offered to attack the US intelligence operation in Afghanistan.

He says the Taliban trained the CIA agent and sent the suicide bomber to the camp as revenge for a top militant leader's death in a US missile strike.

A CIA spokesman says he cannot confirm the claim and that there is a lot about the attack that is not known.

12. not at all, just pointing out that an agent is totally different than someone who is being paid by
the agency, or is spying for the agency etc etc, they are an assett not an agent...

2. Time to cut the SF loose on Pakistan
The border should now be meaningless when the Taliban enters the equation.

4. it might also mean your death, are you willing to pay that price...
seems people are always willing to sacrifice others for their beliefs rather than making that sacrifice themselves..

5. The prowar faction is the one sending others to die in this foolish war
America will be better off once we drive a wooden stake through imperialism and capitalism's hearts.

6. and pray tell what will replace what you want destroyed
and why are you so sure it will not be a hundred times worse... seems that your solution is that if the US leaves then all will be peace and harmony, you do realise that the violence will probuably escalate and spread...

15. I for one will be the first to submit to the new chinese overlord
Edited on Fri Jan-01-10 10:41 PM by Pavulon
the system they put in place will be far superior to the evil us empire. They are doing so much to protect life where they do business, see the sudan and DPRC.

I am sure if we just give up all our defensive capability and go back in the clamshell we will be fine. Just like a smoking hot passed out chick at a frat party. No one would dare take advantage..

edit:shitty grammar.

18. The only thing timeless is
the demagoguery of false choices based on erroneous assumptions.

19. You might also want to read this
"Vote for Republicans or you will die," is the apparent new and old campaign slogan for the Republicans despite 9/11, Katrina, the Iraq War, the Shoe Bomber, and the Antrax attacks all happening under Republican rule.
