Three Americans have been arrested over their alleged involvement in a failed coup in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Video shows what is thought to be two of the men groveling for mercy on the ground as they were surrounded by government forces following a shootout in the capital Kinshasa on Sunday.

Are they CIA? Should be easy enough to figure out given that the white guy's passport has already been shared on the internet.

“Yes they were CIA”, said no US Government Official, ever.

I learned this from Mission: Impossible.

Thanks for the music video. I’d never heard the Miley Cyrus song, so this was a treat! The animation was great too. I always watch videos with the captions on, so it was easy to follow along with the lyrics to the song, which was very well presented. I wonder if the creators have had any visits from the CIA yet.
