Pentagon official set up a spy network of 'Jason Bournes' to help track and kill
Islamic militants, it was claimed yesterday. Former air force officer Michael D. Furlong
is accused of diverting money from intelligence gathering to fund his own unit of former CIA agents and special forces soldiers.
He is said to have called them 'my Jason Bournes', a reference to the fictional CIA assassin
played by Matt Damon in a series of films. It is alleged that information gathered by the team
was used by the U.S. military to kill militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Furlong, a civilian
employee, was hired for his expertise on intelligence gathering. He was supposed to be supplying
information about Afghanistan's tribal landscape. But instead he used his £16million budget to fund private spies to
track down militants. 'While no legitimate intelligence operations got screwed up, it's generally
a bad idea to have freelancers running around a war zone,' one U.S. government official told the New York Times. Pentagon officials have refused to confirm if they knew about the existence of Furlong's team. Furlong, who is in his early 50s, has now been removed from his post
at Lackland Air Force base in San Antonio, Texas, and is under investigation for contract fraud. |
