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.
Is there a date on terrorist attack in Mogadishu or date of death for CIA guy?
SecDef was in Mogadishu same day. This may have been attempt by CIA remnants to take him out. Kinda weird travel plans for him: https://www.voanews.com/africa/blast-kills-least-7-mogadishu-after-us-defense-secretary-visit
