Initially reported in the New York Times as “coalition members” who were only there to deliver furniture, the two Americans slain in the Saturday attack on the Kandahar headquarters of the National Directorate of Security (NDS) have been revealed to be a CIA officer and an Army intelligence analyst.
The two were slain, along with several Afghan NDS agents when a man dressed in an NDS uniform detonated a suicide vest in the office. The attack was initially termed “insider,” but Afghan officials say that the attacker wasn’t actually an NDS employee but just stole the uniform to sneak in.
The military identified the slain analyst as Specialist Brittany Gordon, after initial reports said she died in an IED attack. The military identified the other victim as a “civilian” but it was later revealed by multiple officials he was CIA.
The CIA has refused to comment on the incident, and in many cases never acknowledges slain agents publicly. Whether insider attack or just a guy who snuck in, the ability to plant an attacked in the high security building raises more concerns about security.
This incident reveals how deeply the Taliban have infiltrated U.S. operations.
I just saw a propaganda release on the corporate media that said that the US sees the potential for a wide Taliban uprising. LOL! Imagine that! I guess the genocidal maniacs are looking for every excuse to cut and run while declaring victory. Something tells me that, deep inside, they know that the countdown to the fall of the empire begins when they leave thru the back door.
That Afghan must have looked like the Michelin Man – in camo. But apparently nobody noticed. Too bad they weren't actually furniture movers, they would have made much more 'intelligent' victims.
As it is they were caught with their pants, and security, down. RIP.
Two more innocent victims of Talie's rage.
These days, if you throw a rock into your backyard, chances are that you'll hit a CIA whore (no offense to true whores).
