The true story of 'The Triple Agent'
It was December 30, 2009, and it should have been the most highly anticipated break in the U.S. and Jordanian pursuit of then al Qaeda No. 2 Ayman al Zawahiri. It didn’t work out that way.
An al Qaeda mole had instead infiltrated both agencies to devastating effect when he detonated his suicide vest on a CIA base in Khost, Afghanistan.
In his new book, "The Triple Agent," Washington Post reporter Joby Warrick tracks down the true story of the triple agent.

Wow, seriously CNN??? Man i stopped watching your show on cable cause of this type of B.S. Now your actual news reporting is becoming SPAM and AD space huh? DONKEY a.s.s. MORONS
CNN has sunk to a new low with this ad. If you keep this up, I will go elsewhere to read news.
Soooo...since there was no "story," here, really, can we assume this was a paid advertisment?
Congratulations, you broke the code.
More and more of CNN's "news" stories are simply advertizements. At least CNN could be somewhat clever and do a better job at deceiving its viewers.
I wonder how much the publishers paid CNN for this "breaking news"?
(Author) August 12, 2011 at 4:55 pm and we were just in time to release our treporamy website! Still needs work on describing the portfolio items and adding portfolio items. But it's a start 🙂
regardless of the fact that this "story" was entirely worthless – the book and the story that it told was actually quite good
What ever, at least everyone knows this little portion of my life -staying safe from what is least likely to ever effect me- is your job...
seriously, this is on the front page on CNN? what a ridiculous 'article'.
CNN isn't a news outlet anymore, just another spammer. Thanks for the unsolicited ad a.s.s.h.o.l.e.s.
How was it unsolicited? You clicked on the link didn't you?
Don't commercials have to be announced, as in...."And now, a message form our sponsor..." ??
Only in the 1950's and on The Price Is Right.
Well, won't be getting that two minutes back. Thanks for the in-depth reporting CNN!
This appears to be an ad.
Still wondering what happened to Mr. Triple Cross, Ali Mohammed (sp?)
He committed suicide in a and Afghan base.
