US military source says there were NO CIA staff on Afghanistan crash jet after Iranian media claimed officer 'behind Soleimani's death' was among those killed

An Iranian news agency has claimed a CIA chief who helped plan the assassination of general Qassem Soleimani was killed in a plane crash yesterday in Afghanistan.

The highly dubious report comes after the Pentagon yesterday denied its E-11A communications jet had been shot down by the Taliban, but stated it had crashed in the Dih Yak district.

The US gave no details of casualties but Iranian media and Kremlin-linked news sites have claimed that among the dead was Michael D'Andrea, a CIA boss credited with hunting down Osama bin Laden, known as the 'Dark Prince' and 'Ayatollah Mike.'

Iranian propaganda agency, Mehr News, reported today that D'Andrea, who played 'a pivotal role in many acts of terror, including the assassination of IRGC Quds Force commander Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani,' was killed.

The highly dubious report

Yes, given the source.

But is it true?

If “Afghan” security personnel got anywhere near that plan prior to takeoff, would not doubt that it was sabotaged. Those brave Americans died for nothing.

I remember a dark op by the Fraud after bin laden was allegedly killed, that brought down a chopper-full of SEALs to appease his terrorist BFFs.

Much of FraudCo’s military command infrastructure remains in place....

I wonder who exposed his identity.
Probably some demonicRAT on the intelligence committee

That wasn’t the motive I assumed with those seals. More likely IMO just a criminal coverup for that not having been Bin Laden.

Hmm, so that way they’d just have the *one* SEAL who’s gone on to tell us that FOR SURE, he shot him.

Interesting, thanks.

I had attributed Occam to the Fraud’s love of terrorists who hate America, rather than the smarts only his handlers have, to protect and promulgate their pogrom on America.

Still remains a mystery as to why Command didn’t provide Gun Ship cover for the those SEAL’s.

IIRC, there was a change in orders just before the mission, that said only one helicopter was to go. That ensured that all the SEALs were on the same helo.

If true, it would only be an unfortunate coincidence.

"An Iranian news agency has claimed..."

We're taking Iran's word on anything seriously now?
