Whistleblower Claims CIA Sought Taliban-Linked Terror Attack on U.S. Soil to Frame ISIS
In a startling revelation, veteran investigative journalist Lara Logan has alleged that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) encouraged the Taliban and the Haqqani network to activate sleeper cells within the United States to carry out a terrorist attack, which would then be attributed to ISIS. Logan, known for her extensive reporting on global conflicts, shared these claims on her social media platform, citing multiple U.S. intelligence sources.
Logan stated, “I learned months ago from multiple U.S. intel sources that the CIA was urging their ‘friends’ in the Taliban/Haqqani terror network to use their sleeper cells inside the U.S. for an attack that would be blamed on ISIS.” She expressed skepticism about the narrative that ISIS is solely responsible for such attacks, suggesting that this could be a deliberate diversion orchestrated by elements within American intelligence agencies.
I learned months ago from multiple US intel sources that the CIA was urging their “friends” in the Taliban/Haqqani terror network to use their sleeper cells inside the US for an attack that would be blamed on ISIS. So I am very skeptical – it is too easy to blame ISIS. They do it… https://t.co/k0xD4KHl2H

These allegations have surfaced in the wake of a tragic incident on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, where an individual, reportedly linked to ISIS, drove a truck into a crowd, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries. The suspect, identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, was allegedly dressed in military gear and had an ISIS flag in his vehicle. Notably, reports indicate that Jabbar had crossed the southern U.S. border just two days prior to the attack.

The incident has prompted conflicting statements from authorities. New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell labeled the event a “terrorist attack,” while New Orleans Police Chief Anne Kirkpatrick described the suspect’s actions as a deliberate attempt to cause mass harm. However, Alethea Duncan, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s New Orleans field office, initially stated, “This is not a terrorist event.” Subsequently, the FBI released a statement treating the incident as an act of terrorism, highlighting the inconsistency in official narratives.
Former National Security Advisor General Mike Flynn, present in New Orleans during the attack, criticized the contradictory messaging from the FBI and other authorities. He emphasized the importance of acting on intelligence to prevent such incidents, stating, “Prevention is what we shoot for; that is what the hard work of intelligence does. If you don’t follow it and hunt down every lead, then you end up in a reactive, after-the-fact mode.”
Logan’s assertions raise serious concerns about the potential manipulation of terrorist threats for undisclosed agendas. The possibility that elements within U.S. intelligence agencies could collaborate with known terrorist organizations to stage attacks on American soil, only to attribute them to other groups like ISIS, is alarming. Such actions, if true, would not only endanger American lives but also undermine public trust in national security institutions.
The Haqqani network, a militant group operating primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan, has longstanding ties with the Taliban and has been designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government. Allegations of the CIA’s collaboration with such groups for clandestine operations are not unprecedented, given the complex history of U.S. foreign policy in the region.
These revelations also come amid ongoing debates about border security and the potential threats posed by individuals crossing into the United States. The reported ease with which the New Orleans attacker entered the country shortly before committing an act of terror underscores vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.
Critics argue that if Logan’s claims hold merit, they reflect a dangerous strategy where intelligence agencies might facilitate or allow terrorist activities to achieve broader geopolitical objectives. Such tactics could be used to justify increased military interventions, expanded surveillance measures, or other policy decisions that might not garner public support without a perceived imminent threat.
The implications of these allegations are profound, warranting thorough investigation and transparency from the involved agencies. The American public deserves clarity on whether their safety is being compromised by the very institutions tasked with protecting them. As this story develops, it is imperative that Congress and oversight bodies scrutinize these claims to uphold the integrity of U.S. national security operations.
In the meantime, citizens are urged to remain vigilant and informed, questioning official narratives and seeking multiple sources of information to understand the complexities of national security issues. The balance between safeguarding the nation and preserving civil liberties depends on an informed and engaged populace holding their leaders accountable.
As more details emerge, the need for a transparent and accountable intelligence community becomes increasingly evident. The potential misuse of power by those entrusted with national security cannot be overlooked, and any actions that jeopardize the safety and trust of the American people must be addressed with utmost urgency.

It is time to dissolve the upper echelons of the CIA, the FBI and all leaders of alphabet soup in Federal offices. The FBI needs to be removed from the east coast all together and placed in the midwest and spread across 5 to 10 cities there, each now a new division with extreme limits of operations and goals. Information should be required to be delivered to other divisions of the FBI when found.
The CIA needs to be removed from DC altogether and placed in a DIFFERENT set of cities, also divided up into about 5 separate and distinct divisions. If the CIA is found operating on US soil, the agents themselves need to be arrested and convicted and sentenced accordingly. Any action by CIA within US borders is a criminal act.
If this allegation is true, that the CIA suborned a terrorist activity in the USA, then the HEAD of the CIA needs to be arrested, tried and sentenced to DEATH for terrorist activity in the USA.
Everyone in the CIA is probably an Islamic plant. The CIA, the Taliban and ISIS are three sides of the same evil triangle.
NEVER TRUST A MOZLEM.
Cause a mass terrorist attack, establish martial law, Hussein and party get to stay in control.
Simple.
Create a mass ter ro rist incident, declare martial law and Hus sei n and friends stay in control as long as they want.
