http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/09/w...teer-was-double-agent-officials-say.html?_r=1 Bomber in Plot on U.S. Airliner Is Said to Be a Double Agent I believe he isn't a double agent. At least lets hope not.
If he is a double agent he is working for al qaeda and giving us bad data. So I just read this headline from Washington post: CIA unraveled bomb plot from within Sounds like that Saudi guy did all the work and cia is trying to take credit.
I think you misread. He's a double agent in that he was working for the Saudis/CIA and pretended to be an Al Queda guy and got us all the info and the bomb itself.
