Then-CIA Director George Tenet wrote: “By early September [2001], CIA had a group of assets from a Middle Eastern service working on our behalf. None of the more than twenty individuals knew they were working for us. They were targeted against a range of terrorism issues. One third of them worked against al-Qa’ida. By September 2001, we had two unilateral agents successfully penetrate terrorist training camps in Afghanistan.” [The 5th of the month used for date sorting purposes only.]
