Jordanian official was killed in bomb on Afghan CIA base
One of the victims of a fatal attack on a CIA base in Afghanistan last week was a Jordanian intelligence official, according to a Monday report in the Washington Post. After the blast, the CIA lowered the bomb's official death toll from eight to seven, the Washington Post reported, claiming that the Jordanian was the eighth victim. Jordan's King Abdullah II and his wife, Rania reportedly attended the official's military funeral on Saturday. The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. Appears to be a long in the making, targeted hit in retaliation for Pred strikes. The follow-on investigation would certainly make interesting reading. Posted by: Besoeker 2010-01-04 |
