John Kiriakou

If you think that because they have pretty beaches and palm trees, that they're not going to kill you if they have the chance.

Believe me, if they have the chance, they're going to kill you.

And then they killed him.

As an assassination.

They assassinated him in broad daylight on the main road from our neighborhood to the British and American embassies in April of 2000.

I was about a quarter of a mile behind him when they killed him.

A taxi driver pulled him out of the car and rushed him to a hospital.

He died 20 minutes after they got there.

17 November usually would drop a manifesto at the site of the hit.

Sometimes they would put it in a garbage can and call a leftist newspaper and tell them where to find it.

Rarely they would mail it to the newspaper.

They didn't leave a manifesto when they killed Stephen.

And so four months passed and I went into work one day like I did, you know, every day.

And my boss runs into my office and he said, did you see the manifesto?

I said, what manifesto?

He said, the Saunders manifesto.

I said, they didn't drop a manifesto.

He said, no, they dropped it today.

Have you seen it?

And I said, no.
