The Jordanian suicide bomber who killed seven CIA officers in Afghanistan claimed in a video made before he died that he only intended to kidnap a Jordanian intelligence officer, before he stumbled on an unexpected opportunity to attack a large group of Americans. Balawi in the video attributed "the stupidity of Jordanian intelligence and the stupidity of American intelligence" services for inviting him to Afghanistan to help set up a strike against al-Qaeda targets.
