Who knows what to believe but one source claims this CIA officer killed in Somalia was actually killed during the raid on a CIA base in Germany while trying to confiscate the hacking servers.

Certainly makes for a good story.

wtf the officer died in Germany

Michael Goodboe, a 54-year-old former Navy SEAL who worked for the CIA’s paramilitary unit, died after succumbing to injuries from an improvised explosive device, according to the two sources. The two sources requested anonymity because of the sensitivity around the attack and because they were not authorized to disclose Goodboe’s death.

The attack that killed Goodboe was presumed to have been conducted by al-Shabab, an Al Qaeda affiliated group engaged in a decadelong insurgency, though the details remain unclear. One of the people familiar with the attack said Goodboe was flown to Germany, where the U.S. has a military hospital, and later died of his injuries.

The CIA declined to comment. Goodboe’s family did not respond to requests for comment. The New York Times first reported the death but did not identify the CIA officer who was killed.

We have a corpsman there that can give you antiacid and some gauze. 10/10 do not recommend their health plan if you have anything worse than a scraped knee.

Only thing is, the most obvious cause of death from someone guarding a server is by a gun, not an IED

Why Germany? Do they want the victim to die en route. Surely there are medical facilities a lot closer than Germany. Please explain.
