C.I.A. De leider zegt Qaeda Zijn Bereik uitbreidt
Vrijdag, 14 November, 2008 WASHINGTON ? Zelfs zoals Hayden weigerde pointedly om details over de stakingen te geven door van op afstand bestuurde vliegtuigen, of zelfs te erkennen dat zij voorkwamen. He did say that the recent killing of senior Qaeda operatives had disrupted the group?s planning and isolated its leadership. In mid-October, a missile fired from an American drone killed Khalid Habib, the latest senior Qaeda planner to be killed this year in Pakistan. ?To the extent that the United States and its allies deepen that isolation, disturb the safe haven, and target terrorist leaders gathered there, we keep Al Qaeda off balance,? Mr. Hayden said. The radicalization of Pashtun tribes, and their strengthening ties to Qaeda operatives, date in part to the decision by the Pakistani president at the time, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, to raid the radical Red Mosque in Islamabad in July 2007, the C.I.A. director said. That raid, at the end of an eight-day siege of the mosque by government troops, killed scores of Pakistani militants. At the end of his remarks, Mr. Hayden deflected questions about whether he would consider remaining at the C.I.A. during the Obama administration and declined to say whether President-elect Barack Obama had asked him to extend his tenure. ?This is the business of the transition team,? Mr. Hayden said. ?This is the business of the president-elect.? ? Have Your Say: C.I.A. Chief Says Qaeda Is Extending Its Reach Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
