Double agent infiltrated AQAP bomb plot?
This whole thing leaves me believing that something rotten is going on in Langley…..from my work I know the following:
AQ did not conduct operations based on historical dates. Infiltrating AQ was the hardest task we faced. In fact, the CIA and other IC elements always preached that it was almost impossible to insert a double into the mix, it just required too much on our part. Now we have a success by a double agent?
Not sure, but to me it just doesn't add up..
Associated Press: CIA foils another Al Qaeda underwear bomb plot
The Central Intelligence Agency successfully thwarted an Al Qaeda plot to use a sophisticated underwear bomb to bring down a U.S. airliner around the one-year anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death, the Associated Press reported yesterday.
. . . . . . .
According to the AP report, the Yemen-based suicide bomber had not selected a target or purchased purchase plane tickets when U.S. intelligence officials seized the device. It is unclear what happened to the would-be suicide bomber.

White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said that the President was aware of the plot since early April and “at no time were Americans in danger as a result of this.”
Al-Qaeda underwear bomber ‘was US double agent'
Reports from the US say the would-be suicide attacker in a foiled “underwear bomb” plot was in fact a double agent.
US officials are quoted as saying that the person dispatched by Yemen-based al-Qaeda to attack a US-bound plane had infiltrated the group.
In an apparent intelligence coup, the agent left Yemen with the device and delivered it to the CIA.
