A Pakistani television station has aired a video of the suicide bomber double agent who blew himself up at the CIA base in Afghanistan. The video shows the bomber, Humam Khalil al-Balawi, sitting beside Pakistan Taliban chief Hakimullah Mehsud. Al-Balawi said the attack was revenge for the US killing of former Pakistan Taliban leader Baitullah Mehsud, who died a in drone strike in Pakistan in August.

Humam Khalil al-Balawi: “This jihadi attack will be the first of the revenge operations against the Americans and their drone teams outside the Pakistani borders after they killed the emir of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan, Baitullah Mehsud.”

Hours after the release of the video, Humam al-Balawi’s father confirmed the man in the video was his son. Balawi’s father blamed the Americans for his actions.

Khalil Balawi: “The American oppression against the Muslim world and injustice can turn anyone to this sort of thing. There is an American oppression, arrogance. They kill innocent people and children and find no one to tell them why they are doing that. We pray that God accepts him with the martyrs and prophets.”
