His actions in Afghanistan made a major contribution in the battle against the Taliban and al-Qa’ida. . . . (2/2) Mike deployed to Afghanistan in the fall of 2001. He was in the fortress of Qali-Jangi at Mazar-e Sharif, where Taliban prisoners were being held and questioned. Although these captives had given themselves up, their pledge of surrender was a lie. Mike was interviewing a group of extremists when hundreds of prisoners revolted. Just before he was killed in the attack, Mike warned an Agency colleague of the imminent danger, helping his colleague get to safety. Then-Director Tenet, upon hearing of Mike's death, described him as a “quiet warrior” who “placed his own life in jeopardy to save the lives of others.” “He led one of our teams into Afghanistan." Tenet said. “There, he tracked the authors and allies of terror. There, while fighting for the future of the American people, he fought to bring a better future to the Afghan people. And it was there, one evening, that he said he would gladly risk his life if he could help make the world a safer place for his wife and children.” “As we know," said Tenet, "those were much more than words.” . . . #HumansofCIA #InMemoriam」5月3日 1時44分
