Afghan authorities were distancing themselves from investigations into a suicide bomb attack that killed seven CIA agents, the US spy agency's biggest single loss of life in almost 30 years. KABUL (AFP) - – Afghan authorities were distancing themselves from investigations into a suicide bomb attack that killed seven CIA agents, the US spy agency's biggest single loss of life in almost 30 years. As questions swirled about how the attacker managed to penetrate security at the base in Khost province near the Pakistani border, the Afghan defence ministry again denied reports that any ministry personnel were involved. The government had no comment and a spokesman for President Hamid Karzai said there would be no official involvement in any investigation. The CIA agents were killed on Wednesday when a suicide bomber breached the forward operating base (FOB) Camp Chapman and detonated an explosives-filled vest in a basement gymnasium. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. Zahir Azimi, defence ministry spokesman, again denied reports that the bomber was an ANA officer or posed as one. "This is the Taliban talking and nothing the Taliban says should be believed," he said. The CIA uses FOBs to collect intelligence and conduct direct drone attacks along the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan, said a Western diplomat, who referred to the activities as "CIA black ops". "It should come as no surprise that the Afghan government wants nothing to do with this," he said, on condition of anonymity. "Karzai is not interested in the security of these places. He has zero control over the FOBs that are located along the border. As far as the Afghan state is concerned it's a black hole and whatever happens is the CIA's lookout." The CIA lowered the flag to half-mast at its tightly guarded headquarters in the Washington suburbs, but did not release the names of the casualties, who died cloaked in the same anonymity in which they lived. "Your triumphs and even your names may be unknown to your fellow Americans, but your service is deeply appreciated," President Barack Obama wrote in a letter to CIA employees. Obama said that since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States, "the CIA has been tested as never before." "Because of your service, plots have been disrupted, American lives have been saved and our allies and partners have been more secure," Obama said. While more than 500 US and coalition forces have died in Afghanistan this year, Wednesday's suicide attack showed a new level of sophistication for the Taliban, infiltrating the agency in charge of finding them. The New York Times said CIA officers at the base recently had begun an aggressive campaign against a militant group run by Sirajuddin Haqqani. Citing current and former intelligence officials, it said the early indications were that the bomber was brought onto the base as a possible informer and might not have been subjected to rigorous screening. By all accounts, it was a devastating blow for the spy agency, the deadliest since a 1983 US embassy bombing in Beirut that killed eight CIA officers and decimated the agency's operations there. This one took the lives of war-hardened operators who will be difficult to replace, and could undermine confidence at a time when the agency faces rising dangers in the field. US press reports said the seven dead included the base chief, a mother of three. Six others were wounded, their lives saved by US military doctors and nurses, CIA director Leon Panetta said. The attack comes as the United States increasingly relies on the CIA and other covert forces to pursue strategic goals. Recently -- and controversially -- the CIA has been operating unmanned drones that target extremists in lawless areas of Pakistan. Intelligence operatives are seen as crucial in laying out the groundwork as Obama and NATO allies send in another 36,800 troops as part of a surge expected to last until late 2010. Suspected Taliban, meanwhile, have kidnapped two French journalists working for France's public television broadcaster and three Afghan companions. Gunmen snatched the group as they were traveling around 60 kilometres (38 miles) from the Afghan capital on Wednesday, a French journalist working with them told AFP.
