Washington, January 06: A top US military intelligence officer says the quality of the intelligence used by US-led forces in Afghanistan is deplorable, citing the recent killing of seven CIA agents.
Major General Michael Flynn, the top NATO and US military intelligence chief in Afghanistan, said the roughly 113,000 foreign forces in the country are “so starved” of accurate intelligence that “many say their jobs feel more like fortune telling,” AFP reported on Tuesday.
Flynn said radical changes are needed in Afghanistan to help an intelligence-gathering operation which “still finds itself unable to answer fundamental questions about the environment in which we operate.”
The Taliban has allegedly claimed responsibility for the blast that killed the seven CIA operatives AND boasted about the incident.
