CIA Said Over 5,000 Suspected Terrorists Captured Or Killed Since 9/11 Attacks
Komfie Manalo - All Headline News Foreign Correspondent Washington (AHN) - Central Intelligence Agency Director Micahel Hayden said that over 5,000 suspected terrorists have been killed or captured in the five years since the September 11th terror attacks in the U.S. He said, "al-Qaeda's core operational leadership has been decimated, and their successors are in hiding or on the run. The director made the disclosure as he addressed the CIA employees at the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks which killed nearly 3,000 and subsequently forced Washington to launch its "war on terror." He said the agency's extensive cooperation with foreign intelligence agencies has led to many successful operations in neutralizing terrorist cells and dismantling al-Qaeda. "In such a way many large-scale terror plots have been foiled, although some schemes have succeeded beyond U.S. territories," he said.
