United States - U.S. officials have confirmed long-held suspicions former Liberian president Charles Taylor worked for the CIA
and other U.S. intelligence agencies. Taylor helped raise speculation
after claiming U.S. officials had helped him escape a maximum security
prison in Boston in 1985. According to the Boston Globe, the Pentagon’s
Defense Intelligence Agency has now acknowledged Taylor served as a CIA
informant during his emergence as a warlord in the 1980s. Taylor is
currently awaiting a verdict at The Hague on charges of war crimes,
crimes against humanity, and violations of international humanitarian
law during Sierra Leone’s civil war.
