The killing adds to a sense of insecurity already heightened by a 20 hour-siege of the embassy district in mid-September, and the assassination a week later of the government's peace envoy, former President Burhanuddin Rabbani.
The CIA compound is one of the most heavily guarded in Kabul, and has been off-limits for almost a decade, since shortly after the Taliban's fall from power in 2001.

Comment: How about a third option? The Americans found within their own ranks a doubter of 911, the War on Terror etc.. A doubter of Freedom and Democracy who knew, from working on the inside, that America is an Empire now and not the Democracy builder it pretends to be.

A simple patsy scheme was created where an innocent man [Afghan Employee], who would also be murdered, would be blamed.
