Yeah, that’ll fix it. Great damage control there, Jen.Hezbollah has revealed the identities of CIA officers working undercover in Lebanon, a blow to agency operations in the region and the latest salvo in an escalating spy war.
[...]
The disclosure comes after Hezbollah managed to partially unravel the agency's spy network in Lebanon after running a double agent against the CIA, former and current US intelligence officials said.
[...]
The incident happened despite top CIA officials being warned to be vigilant when handling informants after Hezbollah and Lebanese officials arrested scores of Israeli spies in 2009. The outing of the officers is particularly damaging because it will hinder the ability of these CIA employees to work overseas, especially as references to their names will be widely available to other foreign intelligence agencies online.
The CIA has dismissed Hezbollah's assertions. "The agency does not, as a rule, address spurious claims from terrorist groups," Jennifer Youngblood, a spokeswoman for the agency, said.
