An American ex-FBI agent believed to have been held in Iran for the last seven years was working for the CIA on an unapproved mission, the Associated Press news agency reports. "We have no comment on any purported affiliation between Mr Levinson and the US government," said a CIA statement. The Associated Press report alleges that the CIA paid off Mr Levinson's family and reprimanded several analysts involved. The media outlet writes that Mr Levinson was in Iran on an unapproved intelligence-gathering mission that, when revealed, caused a serious internal CIA scandal. The US agency reportedly paid Mr Levinson's family $2.5m (£1.5m) to avoid a public lawsuit, and also disciplined 10 veteran analysts. |
Interesting story, about a man stranded behind enemy lines.
There is a lot more to the report, than the brief extract.
Kerry is trying to pressure Iran for his release, and the whole thing is like something out of Homeland. Only without the limey terrorist, and the crazy blonde chick with gesticulation tourettes
If he comes back and runs for office, beware!
