US intelligence sources have named the suicide bomber who killed seven CIA agents and a Jordanian intelligence officer at a secret CIA facility in Afghanistan on Dec. 30 as Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, 36, a Jordanian medical doctor. He had been accepted by the CIA as a double agent and undertaken to find al Qaeda's No. 2, the Egyptian physician, Ayman al-Zawahri, and win his trust before killing him.

Balawi gained access to the Forward Operation Base Chapman in the remote province of Khost by saying he had urgent information about the mission to pass on to the CIA contingent.
