U.S. and Yemeni officials say the supposed would-be bomber at the heart of an al-Qaida airliner plot was actually an informant working for the CIA.

The revelation, first reported by The Los Angeles Times, shows how the CIA was able to get its hands on a sophisticated underwear bomb well before an attack was set in motion.

Officials say the informant was working for the CIA and Saudi Arabian intelligence when he was given the bomb. He then turned the device over to authorities. Officials say the informant is safely out of Yemen.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive intelligence matter.

He won’t be for long.

[allmost]

The source and intent are suspect then.

[Claytonbridge]

Obama will take credit for it in his next speech!!

[Cementjungle]

By the time October rolls around, the MSM won’t know what to report on next... the 0.01% unemployment, the 99% reduction in government spending or the dozens of daily terror busts personally conducted by Colonel Obama.

If the CIA is smart, then they released this even though they found the bomb through other means thus making Al Qaida suspicious of all of their suicide bombers. And if unicorns crapped skittles we would not have to grow any other food.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Al-Qaeda was created by the CIA. How ironic!

[DownInFlames]

As sheriff Pepper would have said, “A secret agent, on whose side!”

[tet68]

There is other food besides Skittles tm.?

The agency recovered the bomb in recent weeks, but it's not clear what happened to the would-be suicide bomber. The bomber "is in no position to harm us," Rogers said.

I guess this update explains that. /s

Agent In Chief, 0bama is on it!

Now that Khadafi is room temperature and Hugo is being zapped who is buying all of the fancy uniforms?

[boomop1]

This guy will be dead soon.

[treetopsandroofs]

Now we’re supposed to believe he had anything at all to do with AQ.

The ever-changing stories change as needed to make Fraud Hussein look better.

[ColdOne]

so they busted somebody who worked for the CIA is the way I see it. this whole story is suspect. I believe none of it.

Now that Khadafi is room temperature and Hugo is being zapped who is buying all of the fancy uniforms?

Perhaps the army of poll-watchers (NBP) that we'll see everywhere on election day.

It does seem that way too much about this story leaked way too early. AP apparently had the story Friday and held it. If any of this had gotten out, that double agent would be dead, and the asset, the “underwear bomb” would still be in Yemen.

Washington is far too leaky to do serious espionage. Heads need to roll over this.
