Terror leader praises attack on CIA base

A top terror leader praised the suicide attack on a CIA outpost in Afghanistan today and said it was to avenge the deaths of a Pakistani Taliban leader and two al-Qaida figures.

The claim, made in a message signed by al-Qaida's number three, Sheikh Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, on jihadist internet forums, adds further confusion to which group orchestrated the bombing that killed seven CIA employees and a Jordanian intelligence officer and wounded six.
