"Leaks such as this have... a huge impact on our ability to do ourbusiness. Not just on a particular source and the threat to theparticular source, but your ability to recruit sources is severelyhampered," Mueller told lawmakers. Talks were under way with US partners to try to minimize anyfallout over the leaks to the US media, which exposed how the CIAfoiled an Al-Qaeda plot using a double agent, he said. But such illicit disclosures "threaten ongoing operations, puts atrisk the lives of sources.
Makes it much more difficult to recruitsources and damages our relationships with our foreign partners." Key details of the disrupted bomb plot were reported by US mediaearlier this month only hours after a drone strike on a keyAl-Qaeda figure and as FBI experts examined an explosive meant tobring down a US-bound airliner. "We have initiated an investigation into this leak," Mueller toldthe Senate judiciary committee. Mueller added that the FBI was working with the TransportationSecurity Administration (TSA) in its investigation. Such leaks have "some long-term effects, which is why it is soimportant to make certain that the persons who are responsible forthe leak are brought to justice," he said. He added that "discussions are going on with partners overseas tomake certain that whatever impact there is, is minimized andprecautions put into place so that in the future, it does nothappen again." CNN has reported that the spy was sent by Saudi counterterrorismagents into Yemen as a mole after it was learned that Al-Qaeda inthe Arabian Peninsula was developing an updated model of theunderwear bomb that failed to explode in a Christmas Day 2009attempt to blow up a US-bound plane.
It added that the agent also had a British passport. When helearned that a concrete terror plot was in the works, the mancontacted Saudi counterterrorism officials from Yemen. The Saudis then informed the Americans of the planned operation andlet them know that they had succeeded in infiltrating the group,according to CNN. There has been little official US confirmation of the details ofthe plot and how the information was relayed to the United States.
Mueller also called on Congress to renew the intelligence budgetsaying it was "absolutely essential" to prevent terror attacks. "We cannot wait until the attackers are on the shores of the UnitedStates to preempt plots, such as the plot that was preempted lastweek. "We cannot wait until that person gets on the plane and is over USterritory in order to try to stop that plot.".
