Re: Pakistani Taleban: Run by foreign agencies
LOL… Reading comprehension!
From the Guardian:
One former senior intelligence official said the bomber 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 the purpose was to gain intelligence, the official said. The former intelligence official and another former official with knowledge of the attack spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to speak publicly.
The CIA was attempting to gain intelligence on the TTP, or the Taliban, or whichever. They were NOT supporting the Taliban, they were trying to get insight on them to better fight them. Big difference.
And glad to hear of your toothbrush, although i fear it may yet have been compromised.
