"... On Sept. 9, 2011, as Gaddafi's regime was collapsing, one of the former CIA officers warned an FBI contact that Libyan missiles were moving south into the Agadez region of Niger inhabited by Tuareg tribesmen, who are believed to have links with al-Qaeda. He explained to the FBI contact that an Arab source "said there are SA-7s and SA-24s (two Russian-made weapons) already on the ground in Agadez from Libya in the hands of Tuareg AQ affiliated groups." He heard nothing back.In a Sept. 12 email, the former CIA officer wrote his FBI friend that the Niger contacts "have determined locally that the USG doesn't want to help them" chase down the missiles. "I suspect NE (Near East division of CIA) squashed this by their normal bureaucratic warfare,” he speculated.
The CIA veteran still hoped U.S. intelligence would get involved, so he provided the name and telephone number of a relative of a former Libyan intelligence officer who allegedly had helped move the missiles out of the country. On Sept. 15, he also sent the FBI contact phone numbers for the Arab source in Niger who was closely monitoring the missile movements.
On Sept. 28, the frustrated ex-CIA officer wrote a U.S. military contact: "The missiles are in the hands of al-Qaeda and being distributed. I would really like to know who in the agency was the roadblock and why."
Still, the former CIA officer heard nothing back. In December, he wrote another FBI contact that a "speed bump" at the agency apparently was blocking communication.
Finally, in late April, the two former CIA officers received information so urgent they felt they had to get it out, somehow. They sent to a law enforcement contact a picture of a rebel fighter aiming one of the Libyan missiles, and this explanation: "The missiles and munitions that have been streaming out of Libya since the fall of 2011...."
