Six other American CIA officers were wounded. The bombing was the most lethal attack against the CIA in more than 25 years.

Al-Balawi was a Jordanian doctor and <a href="Jihadism" title="Jihadism">jihadist</a> website writer who was detained and interrogated over three days by the Jordanian intelligence service, the General Intelligence Directorate (GID). The GID and the CIA thought they had turned al-Balawi to penetrate al-Qaeda in the <a href="Federally_Administered_Tribal_Areas" title="Federally Administered Tribal Areas">Pakistani tribal areas</a> to provide intelligence for high-level targets. Instead, al-Balawi used this trust to gain access to the CIA base in Afghanistan unsearched and perpetrate the attack. <a href="Al-Qaeda" title="Al-Qaeda">Al-Qaeda</a> and <a href="Pakistani_Taliban" title="Pakistani Taliban">Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan</a> claimed responsibility, saying they helped al-Balawi with the attack.

Al-Balawi and nine other people were killed by the blast. Seven were CIA personnel: five officers, including the chief of the base, and two contractors.

Al-Balawi was arrested by Jordanian intelligence in January 2009 and held for three days. During al-Balawi's questioning, Jordanian intelligence officials threatened to have him jailed and end his medical career, and they hinted they could cause problems for his family. Al-Balawi was told that if he cooperated, his slate would be wiped clean and his family left alone. After this episode, the GID and CIA believed they had turned al-Balawi into a double agent.<a href="#cite_note-FT_Outwitted-26">[26]</a> A plan was developed for al-Bawali to infiltrate al-Qaeda in the <a href="Federally_Administered_Tribal_Areas" title="Federally Administered Tribal Areas">Federally Administered Tribal Areas</a> in Pakistan, along the Afghan border.<a href="#cite_note-NBC_Jordanian-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-AFP_Triple-21">[21]</a> In March 2009, al-Balawi left Jordan and arrived in Peshawar, Pakistan, and made his way into the tribal areas.<a href="#cite_note-TripleAgent-5">[5]</a>: 214 The CIA took over the management of al-Balawi from the Jordanians sometime in the second half of 2009, dictating how and when the informant would meet his handlers, according to current and former U.S. intelligence officers.<a href="#cite_note-WP_Victim-27">[27]</a>

The deputy chief of Kabul station was present for the meeting, more evidence that al-Balawi was highly valued. The CIA was "expecting the meeting to be of such substance that following the meeting their next directive was to call President Obama," a security official in Kabul said.<a href="#cite_note-Times_Eager-31">[31]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Statements_from_relatives">Statements from relatives</h4></div>

Al-Balawi's wife, Defne Bayrak, a journalist who lives in Istanbul, Turkey, has translated several Arabic books into Turkish, including Osama bin Laden: Che Guevara of the East.

On January 9, 2010, the Pakistani television network <a href="AAJ_TV" class="mw-redirect" title="AAJ TV">AAJ TV</a> showed a video that had been released by the Tehrik-i-Taliban. The video showed al-Balawi, sitting beside Hakimullah Mehsud, vowing to avenge the death of the Pakistan Taliban leadership: "We will never forget the blood of our emir, Baitullah Mehsud. We will always demand revenge for him inside America and outside." Hakimullah Mehsud replaced his cousin <a href="Baitullah_Mehsud" title="Baitullah Mehsud">Baitullah Mehsud</a> as the chief of the Tehrik-i-Taliban after Baitullah was killed by a U.S. drone attack.<a href="#cite_note-WSJ_Shows-60">[60]</a> Al-Balawi's father confirmed that the video showed his son.<a href="#cite_note-NYT_Links-42">[42]</a>

Analysts said that, in return for organizational support, al-Balawi probably agreed to appear in the video, and to connect the attack he was planning to the death of Baitullah Mehsud, thus raising the profile of the Tehrik-i-Taliban.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Background">Background</h2></div>

The attack took place as the CIA expanded its role in the <a href="War_in_Afghanistan_(2001%E2%80%93present)" class="mw-redirect" title="War in Afghanistan (2001–present)">Afghanistan War</a>, increasing paramilitary operations, including <a href="Drone_attacks_in_Pakistan" class="mw-redirect" title="Drone attacks in Pakistan">drone attacks in Pakistan</a>.

It also had a housing compound for U.S. intelligence officers.<a href="#cite_note-WSJ_Devastates-15">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-Independent-69">[69]</a>

The United States responded to the attack by increasing its <a href="Drone_attacks_in_Pakistan" class="mw-redirect" title="Drone attacks in Pakistan">drone attacks</a> against militants in Pakistan.<a href="#cite_note-NYT_Prompt-70">[70]</a> Nearly every day after the CIA facility was attacked, the U.S. military conducted drone strikes aimed at leaders of the Haqqani network in North Waziristan.<a href="#cite_note-ABC_Responsibility-56">[56]</a> In the week after the attack, the U.S. military conducted five drone strikes, an unusually high number.<a href="#cite_note-WP_Missile-40">[40]</a> However, U.S. counter-terrorism officials cautioned against linking these attacks to the bombing.<a href="#cite_note-WP_Missile-40">[40]</a> After reports of drone strikes, Pakistan said it would not support the attacks in its territory, as they were counterproductive.<a href="#cite_note-Bloomberg_Criticizes-71">[71]</a>

In March 2010, the death of Hussein al-Yemeni in a drone strike was announced. Al-Yemeni was called a planner involved in the suicide bomb attack.<a href="#cite_note-BBC_Strike-72">[72]</a>

On November 1, 2013, the CIA killed Hakimullah Mehsud in a drone strike in Danday Darpa Khel.<a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a>

U.S. officials said that the CIA conducted a review of intelligence supplied by al-Balawi, examining whether he supplied false information about U.S. successes amid valid data used to establish his credibility. The investigation included a review of a list of senior al Qaeda and Taliban operatives reported killed in U.S. drone strikes since January 2009. The <a href="National_Counterterrorism_Center" title="National Counterterrorism Center">National Counterterrorism Center</a> conducted its own review of the intelligence al-Balawi provided, two officials said.<a href="#cite_note-Washington_Times_Data-74">[74]</a>

Following the attack, the U.S. issued new security guidance to its bases in Afghanistan, according to U.S. military officials. One U.S. military official said the guidance would adjust procedures as quickly as possible on a large scale.<a href="#cite_note-CNN_Security-75">[75]</a>

President <a href="Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a> wrote in a letter to CIA employees: "In recent years, the CIA has been tested as never before. Since our country was attacked on September 11, 2001, you have served on the frontlines in directly confronting the dangers of the 21st century.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Islamist_militants">Islamist militants</h3></div>

The attack was praised by Islamist militants after it became known that al-Balawi was the author, under the pen name Abu Dujana, of some of the anti-Western commentaries that they admired.<a href="#cite_note-Reuters_Betrayal-81">[81]</a> One militant wrote, referring to al-Balawi's pseudonym: "Our James Bond, who is he? / He is Abu Dujana! / His motto: Let me die or live free! / Our James Bond, what did he seek? / Not power or money, / But justice for the weak."<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Jordan">Jordan</h3></div>

Jordanian intelligence officials were embarrassed by the incident due to the fact that they had vouched for al-Balawi.

"These were not people who wrote things down in the computer or in notebooks. It was all in their heads," he said, adding that much of the knowledge would not be recoverable.<a href="#cite_note-NYT_Rare-47">[47]</a> Several current and former intelligence officials, however, said that the CIA had numerous operatives with experience in Afghanistan, as the country was considered strategic during the Cold War, and because the U.S. has been involved in active warfare there for the last eight years.<a href="#cite_note-MSNBC_Avenges-88">[88]</a>

A U.S. intelligence official said the danger of using informants was inherent but unavoidable. Intelligence agencies have to rely on unsavory individuals to penetrate terrorist groups because no one else has the access. Those hazards would be neither denied nor ignored by the CIA officers.<a href="#cite_note-AP_Coerced-18">[18]</a> Former intelligence officials said they were deeply troubled about al-Balawi's ability to get close to so many CIA officers. A former agency case officer expressed surprise that "a potential hostile" was able to be in immediate proximity to a large number of CIA operatives. "Why the officers would show a source all their faces, that alone was a terrible decision," said one former senior CIA paramilitary operative who served in Afghanistan.<a href="#cite_note-ABC_Mystery-89">[89]</a> <a href="Larry_C._Johnson" title="Larry C.
