5 January 2010, A suicide bomber who killed 8 people in an attack on a CIA base in Afghanistan was a triple agent who apparently duped his handlers that boasts he wanted to die a martyr were just a cover.

The Jordanian intelligence services had brought the bomber to eastern Afghanistan with the specific mission of finding Al-Qaeda number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri, believing he was their double agent, US network NBC News reported late Monday, citing Western intelligence officials.

But instead he blew himself up at Forward Operating Base Chapman in Khost province near the Pakistani border, killing seven CIA agents and a top Jordanian intelligence officer and wounding six other people.

The killings marked the US Central Intelligence Agency’s worst single loss of life since the bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983.

There has been no immediate official comment on the reports from the Jordanian authorities.

1. Nah... he was a quadruple agent

Killing himself was just to enhance his cover story.

2. Who really cares if one killer kills a group of killers? And still Obama and the Dems keep

escalating this illegal war against the Middle East.
