18 years later: Remembering CIA Officer Johnny Spann
|
 [LI] Killed in the Battle of Qala-i-Jangi (11-25-2001). John Walker Lindh, the American Taliban interrogated by Spann just before Spann was killed, was released from prison last May.
For many years, on November 25 and also Memorial Day, we have remembered Johnny Micheal Spann, a CIA Operations Officer who was the first American killed in Afghanistan after 9/11.
We have told Spann’s story many times, but it never gets old. Our 15th Anniversary post summed up much of what we had learned, 15th Anniversary: Johnny "Mike" Spann, first American killed in Afghanistan.
A small group of special operations officers, often riding on horseback, helped organize the Northern Alliance forces and overthrow the Taliban.
