#6 From Skidmark’s Daily Mail link — CIA or romantic idiots?

Marcel Malanga, 21, accompanied his former refugee father Christian to the central African country from their home in Utah to lead the coup against the autocratic government of President Felix Tshisekedi.

But the father was shot dead and the son was arrested alongside two American co-conspirators during the bungled putsch as the US government scrambled to distance itself from involvement.

Also seized was Benjamin Zalman-Polun, a 36-year-old former cannabis dealer from Maryland whose passport was gleefully displayed by the victorious troops.

And the Congolese authorities said another American along with a Brit were being questioned in custody.

'An attempted coup d'etat has been stopped by the defense and security forces,' said General Sylvain Ekenge in a message broadcast on national television.

'Around 50, including three American citizens - were arrested and are currently undergoing interrogation by the specialized services of the Armed Forces,' Ekenge told Reuters.

Local media were quick to suggest a CIA plot to seize control of the mineral rich nation of 100 million people.

#8 True, Besoeker.

To clarify, The quote is from Skidmark’s first link. His second, War baby link is illuminating, though not about the CIA as such.
