Bomber Who Killed 7 in Afghanistan Wasn't Searched

By now, most have heard that seven employees of the CIA were killed in Afghanistan. Now, it's being reported that he was an informant and invited onto the base.

The bomber who killed seven CIA employees and wounded six more at a remote outpost in southeastern Afghanistan had been invited onto the base and had not been searched, two former U.S. officials have told The Associated Press.

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.

The official says a senior and experienced CIA debriefer came from Kabul for the meeting, suggesting that the purpose of the meeting was to gain intelligence.

The former intelligence officials and another former official with knowledge of the attack spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

This news broke just in the last couple hours. Everyone is planning New Years but watch this blow up over the weekend.
