She had probably done this a dozen times before. Modern digital technology had made clandestine communications with overseas agents seem routine. Back in the cold war, contacting a secret agent in Moscow or Beijing was a dangerous, labour-intensive process that could take days or even weeks. But by 2004, it was possible to send high-speed, encrypted messages directly and instantaneously from CIA headquarters to agents in the field who were equipped with small, covert personal communications devices. So the officer at CIA headquarters assigned to handle communications with the agency’s spies in Iran probably didn’t think twice when she began her latest download. With a few simple commands, she sent a secret data flow to one of the Iranian agents in the CIA’s spy network. Just as she had done so many times before.

But this time, the ease and speed of the technology betrayed her. The CIA officer had made a disastrous mistake. She had sent information to one Iranian agent that exposed an entire spy network; the data could be used to identify virtually every spy the CIA had inside Iran. More

(UPI) A bomb exploded in Zarautz, Spain Sunday, leaving three people injured, police said. Transportation officials received a bomb threat before the blast, which left two police officers and another individual with minor wounds, CNN reported.

The warning, which targeted a construction site in the northern port city, allowed police time to cordon off the building and keep area residents inside their homes. The attack in Spain’s Basque region came two days after the separatist group ETA said it would continue its battle for Basque independence.

The ETA has stepped up its attacks since the arrest of its suspected leader in France, CNN said. To date, ETA has been blamed for killing more than 800 people in the last four decades.

JAIPUR, India (AFP) — A series of bombs tore through crowded markets in the Indian tourist city of Jaipur late Tuesday, killing at least 60 people in what police said was a terror attack. One of the bombs went off near a Hindu temple, leaving blood splattered on the street and cycles and rickshaws in a mangled heap, television showed.

“Sixty people have died and 150 are injured,” said Vasundhara Raje, chief minister of the desert state of Rajasthan of which Jaipur is the capital. “We will not tolerate such activities at all,” he warned. Police said seven blasts took place within minutes of each other in Jaipur, about 260 kilometres (160 miles) from New Delhi. Read more
