More details have emerged about last week’s suicide bombing at a CIA base in Afghanistan. The bomber was reportedly a Jordanian double agent who had been recruited by the Jordanian spy service to infiltrate al-Qaeda. He has been identified as a Jordanian doctor named Humam Khalil Mohammed. The double agent was allowed access to the CIA base after he told his Jordanian intelligence handler that he had information to give to the CIA related to the whereabouts of al-Qaeda deputy Ayman Al-Zawahiri. The bomber was not closely searched when he arrived at the CIA base. The attack killed seven CIA officers and contractors.
