The man, who risked his life to get close to al-Qaedas master bomb-maker in the Yemen, is of Saudi origin but holds a British passport, sources told the Daily Telegraph.
MI5 recruited the agent for an operation in which the CIA planned to target the bomb-maker with a missile from an unmanned drone.

Why is this information available.
Nobody NEEDED to know it.
All it will do is compromise future inteligence operatives.

Did Barry need another success in the War on Terror to get more votes? Kind of a “wag the bomb” gambit?

“but holds a British passport”
Maybe His Excellency on his way to Afghanistan last week stopped over to get this case rolling along. Wow, the Brits have their 007s, we have our Agent Zero.

In Obama’s calculation, a two-point bump up in the polls for being “tough on terrorism” is worth the lives of dozens of agents-in-place.

The British security services are thought to be unhappy that their role has become known, fearing it may jeopardise the recruitment of future agents...
YA THINK???
The operation was originally made public in a leak to the US news agency the Associated Press....The Daily Telegraph reported MI6s involvement on Tuesday but the key role they played was confirmed only on Thursday from a source briefed by Saudi Arabia counter-terrorism officials, who spoke to CNN.
Someone who was briefed by SA officials spilled the beans to CNN? Whoever leaked the info needs to be exposed and permanently shut up.....unless maybe this was part of psy-ops against AQ????

They’ve done all but give his real name and home address. With all the leaked info, anyone in the organization can hunt him down and kill him. And given the ineptness or treason of this leak, we probably don’t even have protection around the person who gave us this intel.
