No firings over failure to detect suicide bomber

Despite glaring security blunders, no US intelligence officials will be fired or disciplined for failing to prevent a 2009 suicide bombing in Afghanistan that killed seven CIA employees in one of the deadliest attacks in the agency’s history.

CIA director Leon Panetta said separate internal reviews concluded that critical warnings about the Jordanian double agent who set off the explosion inside an Afghan base were not shared with other officials, security measures on the base were insufficient and it was unclear who was in charge of the operation.
