#1 If Americans weren't all PC and shit, CIA would just kidnap and kill a slew from the bomber's tribe. But most Americans just don't roll that way. Prolly a feature rather than a bug...

#2 Update from AP:

Suicide bomber invited on base, was being cultivated as a source

A former senior intelligence official says the man was being courted as an informant and that it was the first time he had been brought inside the camp. An experienced CIA debriefer came from Kabul for the meeting, suggesting that the purpose was to gain intelligence, the official said. A separate U.S. official suggested the bomber may have set off the explosives as he was about to be searched.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in a statement that an Afghan National Army officer wearing a suicide vest entered the base and blew himself up inside the gym. A U.S. official briefed on the blast also said it took place in the gym.

The incident occurred at a former military base on the edge of Khost city, the capital of Khost province which borders Pakistan and is a Taliban stronghold.
