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.
Only thing is, the most obvious cause of death from someone guarding a server is by a gun, not an IED
“Hey, he got blown up by a grenade. What should we put down?”
“Just say IED.”
I could see that.
You think you get the whole story when an unauthorized person leaks a CIA contractor's death to the press?
