CIA station chief, his cover blown, departs Pakistan

The Central Intelligence Agency has withdrawn its station chief in Pakistan from Islamabad after his identity and cover was exposed and in lights of threats by Pakistanis against his life. It is suspected that the country's intelligence service, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, may have been responsible for blowing his cover. The chief was named in a recent lawsuit against the use of drone aircraft in strikes against the Taliban which allegedly killed civilians.
