CIA puts two sites in Kurdish areas


The CIA this week beefed up its presence in northern Iraq, establishing two formal field offices in the Kurdish-controlled territory protected by U.S. and British fighter jets, according to Iraqi opposition officials. As of Monday, one CIA station was established in territory controlled by the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) and the other was set up in territory controlled by the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).
