  • Summary

  • Blerim Skoro is a Kosovo-born former CIA operative whose life took a dramatic turn after deserting the Yugoslav army in the 1990s. Arriving in New York as an asylum seeker, Skoro’s journey led him from a drug trafficking conviction to becoming a key informant for the FBI and CIA post-9/11. Posing as a radicalized Islamist, he infiltrated al-Qaeda networks in the Balkans, Middle East, and Pakistan, providing critical intelligence. His covert work ended after a 2010 shooting in Macedonia, when the CIA severed ties, leaving him with minimal compensation. Facing deportation in 2016, Skoro’s story, detailed in the documentary The Accidental Spy, highlights the perils of espionage and abandonment by his handlers.

Eye opening

This is one of the best informative interviews SRS has done. Eye opening to what is really going on. Of course it shows what we all know. Our Government needs to be purged of shitheads in important positions. How do you let a once in a lifetime asset walk? Whoever Chris is, I hope his conscience wears on him.if we suffer another terrorist attack. because his actions probably set back out Intel ability at least a decade.
