Wife of CIA Bomber.doc

Following are excerpts from an interview with Dafna Bayraq, the wife of suicide bomber Humam Al-Bluwi, who carried out the December 30, 2009 attack on a CIA base in Khost, Afghanistan. Seven CIA officials and a Jordanian intelligence officer were killed in the attack. The interview aired on Al-Jazeera TV on January 13, 2010.

Dafna Bayraq: I place the responsibility on the CIA, the Jordanian intelligence, and on every collaborator with America and Israel. They are all responsible for this operation and for every operation carried out by the mujahideen. This is because our lands are under occupation, and Israel destroys our homes and our holy places on a daily basis, and tortures our people in Palestine.

I did not sense that he was connected to the intelligence agencies, but I expect... He definitely was connected to them, but this was a deception, because my husband loved Jihad very much. For many years, ever since the Iraq war, he wanted to wage Jihad for the sake of Allah. There is no way he could have been an intelligence collaborator.
