The suicide bomber who killed CIA agents in Afghanistan had made a video calling on militants to avenge the death of the Pakistani Taliban leader by carrying out attacks in and outside the United States.
A pilotless US drone aircraft strike killed Pakistan Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud last year.
Al Jazeera reported on its website that the video was left as a message to the US and Jordan by the bomber, Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, in which he tells them: ‘We say that we will never forget the blood of our Emir Baitullah Mehsud, God's mercy on him.’
Balawi blew himself up on 30 December inside Forward Operating Base Chapman, a well-fortified US compound in Khost province in southeast Afghanistan, near the border with Pakistan, killing seven CIA officers.
It was the second-most deadly attack in CIA history.
Al Jazeera quotes the former Jordanian doctor as saying it was the obligation of all of Mehsud's fighters ‘to retaliate for his death in the United States and outside the United States.’
