US to launch drone attacks in Syria
The CIA is considering a secret contingency plan to expand the US assassination drone strikes to Syria, former and current American officials say. - The officials said the Counterterrorism Center, which runs CIA’s drone operations in Pakistan and Yemen, has recently tasked some of its agents to collect further intelligence on the situation in Syria, the Los Angeles Times reported on Friday. The targeting officers, who are based at CIA headquarters in Langley, have formed a unit with US intelligence agents in Iraq, to examine purported threats against "the US’ interests in Syria," the report said. The unit is closely working with Saudi, Jordanian and other regional spy services, according to the report.
