US forced to admit Yemen 'Al Qaeda bomber' was actually a CIA operative

After announcing they had thwarted a new terrorist attack against America and captured a terrorist red-handed, the CIA now claim that it was actually their mole in Al Qaeda, who managed to persuade the group he wanted to carry out a suicide bombing. A highly sophisticated underwear bomb was designed, then whilst carrying the bomb the CIA operative was apprehended by his superiors before the bomb could board a plane destined for America.

The bomber's name has been made secret and is now said to be taking safe haven in Saudi Arabia. Fresh urgent calls for tighter airport security have been made to be able to examine contents of all passengers' underwear and more stringent screening in airports.

The State Department and the White House had assured the American public that they knew of no al-Qaeda plots against the U.S. at all around the anniversary of bin Laden's death. The operation was carried out over the past few weeks, officials said. "We have no credible information that terrorist organizations, including al-Qaeda, are plotting attacks in the U.S. to coincide with the anniversary of bin Laden's death," White House press secretary Jay Carney said on April 26. On May 1, the Department of Homeland Security said, "We have no indication of any specific, credible threats or plots against the U.S. tied to the one-year anniversary of bin Laden's death."

However now Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has admitted she was aware “for some time” of a foiled terrorist plot to blow up a U.S. airliner and said she’s “known about the efforts to do something like it even longer.”

And then the White House revealed Obama was briefed about the plot in early April. The Associated Press learned of the plot last week but only broke the story late Monday after being censored and told by the White House that they couldn't publish it for several days.

Obama has been recently celebrating the anniversary of his successful assassination of Osama Bin Laden and his family, this latest news he hopes was timed well and will boost his popularity for the upcoming 2012 elections, and serve as a reminder that the age of terror and fear is not yet over.

Thoughts?

EIther youve failed to understand or deliberatly altered part of the BBC report - the bomb wasnt given to the mole by the CIA, the mole received it directly from Al qaeda in yemen under surveillance, and then handed it to the US prior to the proposed attack.
Also the mole wasnt a CIA one, he was recruited by the Saudi inteelgince form the purpose of infitrating al qaeda (seems he was british too). I m sure the US and various allied secret services around the world have double agents infilitrating terrorist cells.

Where did I say the the bomb was given to the mole by the CIA? I never once said that. Maybe you've failed to understand?

Anyway, who knows? Why are you pretending like you are so sure? How do you know that wasn't the case? There are hundreds of contradictions being reported. I've already mentioned some.

"Before the bomber could choose his target or buy his ticket, however, the CIA swooped in and seized the bomb."

"Officials said the leaders of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) instructed a suicide bomber based in Yemen to board any flight and time of his choice, with an explosive device under his clothes, the Associated Press reported. However, the would-be bomber had been stopped before reaching an airport. It was the CIA who intervened to seize the bomb"

"The device was given to the CIA by a government outside Yemen, officials said."

I got the inmpression that was a point you were trying to infer - if you werent, fair enough. But you did claim "CIA now claim that it was actually their mole in Al Qaeda, who managed to persuade the group he wanted to carry out a suicide bombing" which isnt stated int eh BBC report - in fact it says it was soley ana laqaeda plot, for which this mole volunteered to be the sacrificial pawn.

It is more likelt hat this operation was overseen by he saudis than the cia for the most part. Either way its a source of intelligence for the cia now re the inside workings of al qaeda yemen.

Your other links dont really show anything, except some minor differences in the various reported details of moles detaining - whoch is probably more due to do with weak journalism than anything else

so his family was not killed

No.... that is you who believes the government narrative is always the "true world" no matter what. I don't believe I know the "true world" but I'm a damn sight closer than you because I actually question things before believing them.



No... you don't have any "facts". You only have what the CIA has told you which you have decided to immediately accept as fact. What other facts other than that one source do you have? Exactly. None.

Now stop pretending you know anything.



Ignoring that one CIA/government source, what do you know? Nothing.
You don't even bother to check your sources. You're a godsend to public relation manipulators. I bet they could convince you it's in your own interests to give up your freedom and feed your family to the wolves. Seriously, what won't you believe? Were you one of those people frothing at the mouth about "Weapons of Mass Destruction"?



Stop putting words in peoples mouths to make your stupid little worthless straw man argument. I never said "they've lied before therefore they must be lying now". However an intelligent person would see that someone who has lied many times before, is likely to lie again, and might actually question if that is the case and consider whether it damages their credibility. Unlike you.



Liar. I would like to point out the hilarity that I didn't say any such thing. Nice one for exposing yourself as a lying idiot.
Now jog on before you embarrass yourself further

But that's just not the case though. You seem to see agreeing with what seems the most plausible explanation with the information we have, as blindly believing what I am told. You're like the '9/11 truthers', 'Don't agree it was a conspiracy? There's no way you have examined the facts and come to your own conclusion, you must be a blind sheep believeing whatever the government tell you!'

I have the same facts as you have.

And I bet you're the kind of person that believes the Freemasons are a secret cult that rul all of Europe

Now you see, what I've done is taking your inference and made it explicit, I have never claimed you said such. Hence why I put the words such as 'like', or 'you are essentially saying', not 'you said'

This certainly seems plausible.

I have no reason to doubt the story, so it is entirely possible that the CIA did infiltrate Al Qaeda. I don't know why people are arguing about this. It is such a non-story to be arguing over.

Sorry to be a nitpicker, but yes Osama's young son was murdered when armed soldiers raided their home.

Also his friend and his family - his brother and brother's wife - were murdered in the home invasion. Osama's 12 year old daughter and her mother were also seriously injured and emotionally scarred after watching their father and husband shot in the head in front of them, and his bloody corpse dragged out of their home.

Sorry but if you accept the American government's version of 9/11 then you're not a very intelligent person nor are you a man of science, though this can already be concluded from your sig

No, it's the fact that you outwardly and arrogantly reject the possibility of a government conspiracy when by definition the government was involved in a terrorist conspiracy, and then taking and basing all your strongly held beliefs on a very unreliable source at face-value, and then attempting to ridicule anyone who even attempts to question it. It is the definition of a sheep, who believes that whatever the government puts out must always be true.

You need your head checking. You can't be that ignorant of history. You really need to stop blindly believing anything you're told, it's pathetic.



And yet you are arrogantly claiming you've come to the right conclusion and you know exactly what happened You know nothing, sir. That is quite obvious. Your opinion is worthless on topics such as these, you will simply repeat whatever you heard on your little TV screen, source of all your knowledge, without question.
The opinion of a moron who can't think for themselves. If I wanted to hear the government's side of the story without it being questioned I'd turn on BBC news.

Get off your backside and do some actual research if you want to have an opinion. Otherwise, no one cares about your uninformed beliefs.



"OHOHOH CUZ u beleef that government doesn't tell the truth 100% of the time and the cia of all people sometimes lie that meens u bleef in worldwide super conspiracies involving FREEMASONS!!!!1 MASONIC CONSPIRACEEE!!1"

You really are a public relations godsend. You are the product of complete manipulation, you have been programmed to believe that the idea that the government or secret intelligence agencies sometimes involve themselves in conspiracies is comparable to the belief that Elvis is still alive and that the Moon landings were filmed in a Hollywood studio. You really are 100% brainwashed. Perfect example of how society is so dumbed down.

Government can do no wrong in your eyes can it? I'm sure you would have made a great little robotic sheeple servant following your orders in the third reich, buying into all the Goebbels propaganda and licking nazi boots. You really are a pathetic caricature of a mindless drone bordering on hilarity, if it wasn't so sad...


Where have I mentioned ANYTHING about freemasons? NOTHING I said has anything to do with your little stupid worthless straw man argument, stop pretending like it does. You also need to learn what a straw man argument is because you use it for almost everything you say.

Try actually attacking what I'm saying rather than making stuff up about freemasons and attacking that because you're not intelligent enough to criticise the real stuff.

he deserved it though

That's interesting. Why did Osama's young unarmed son in his pyjamas deserve to be murdered

Here you go again, do you struggle with reading my dear? I do not offhand reject the possibility of conspiracy, I look at the evidence in front of me and conclude that I do not see a conspiracy here.

So umm, show me this research then? Because once again I'll point out we have exactly the same facts on the situation. And yet, when I come to my conclusion I must be wrong, and when you come to yours, you must be correct. And then you belittle me as being blind and believeing anything without facts, when, by definition you have no facts either then.

Oh come now. Are you trolling? I merely reflected your own assertions back on you, and you try to take the high ground? Please, for the sake of humanity, be a troll.

I already attacked what you say. You couldn't defend yourself so you began throwing insults around and repeating yourself, appealing to ridicule and so forth. I am decided, you are a troll. Or a halfwit. either way sir, I'm done with you.

Oh, and for the inevitable 'Ha! You're running away because I'm right!' sort of thing you'll be thinking or writing, well..*pat* whatever you say darlin'

That's actually really sickening. I don't think anyone can justify that tbh.

OP, if you aren't trolling, you are completely retarded and full of yourself at the same time: one of the worst combinations in a human being.

No... how is posting a news story "trolling"?

If you don't understand the concept of posting a news story and then analysing it and evaluating its sources, then you are pretty retarded yourself.
