(군사) CIA 요원 집단 살상 

 

Mourning at the CIA. One of the deadliest attacks in the agency’s history is carried out by an Afghan who is invited onto a US base without being searched. Now to Afghanistan. Tonight, there are startling new facts about the suicide attack that killed seven CIA officers. A tremendous loss for the agency. This happened yesterday at a base near Khost, not far from the Pakistani border. As David Martin reports tonight, the attacker was invited to enter that base and he was not searched.

 

The flag at CIA headquarters flew at half staff today for seven of its own. Director Leon Panetta said they died far from home and close to the enemy, too close it turned out. An Afghan informant정보원 was brought on to the base without any of the searches that would’ve detected explosives. He walked up to where more than a dozen CIA operatives had gathered for a meeting and detonated his suicide vest.

 

According to former CIA counter-terrorism Chief Robert Gweneer, it was the Taliban equivalent of a precision guided weapon. “The fact that this individual apparently penetrated as deeply on that base as he did, the fact that he was able to get access to the individuals that he did, suggest that this was not only his intent, but that there must have been some of a trusted relationship with that individual.” The CIA is keeping the identity secret, but one of the dead, the base chief was a mother of three. Six other agency employees were gravely wounded.

 

Located on the border with Pakistan, Camp Chapman was used as a base for recruiting spies who, according to former CIA officer, would be sent to pinpoint targets for commando raids and air strikes. Officials credited the base with providing some of the intelligence which has enabled CIA drone strikes to eliminate much of Al Qaeda’s top leadership. It is a vicious악랄한 game in which any one suspected of spying for the Americans is executed and someone forgot the most basic rule of espionage간첩행위. “You can never be sure that you can trust anyone, and individual that you can trust today, you may not be able to trust tomorrow.”

 

With seven dead and six wounded, that base is now knocked out of action until the CIA can send in a new team of operatives. It’s only one of many bases and you can send in a new team fairly quickly, but that new team has to re-contact all the agents the base had been running and reestablish new relationships with them. And that will take time.
