US Embassy issued terror attack alert despite meeting between CIA and SSA - report

["D"]

The SSA didn't even inform the union buildings.

Sandton blast radius wouldn't impact Union Buildings, they figured.

I'd put my money on point 1.

Intelligence agencies don't share sources and methods in the normal course of work. But this would probably be more so given that SA intelligence services are so compromised by policitics and outright criminality.

But did they should have waited for the SA Government to issue a statement first.
If any foreign embassy in the states had intelligence but issued a statement before the US, it would have caused a significant impact on international relations between those countries.

The US warning was issued after the SA government failed to issue one.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

The government were informed. Their initial responses in the media suggested the US gave info but wouldn't share where and what evidence they're using.

The SSA was warned, They failed to warn the government.

 

[Cosmik Debris]

The police, meanwhile, had "insufficient capacity" to curb the unrest and were taken "by surprise" by the chaos.

Yet the public anticipated the riots if Zuma was jailed.

 

[R13...]

The SSA was warned, They failed to warn the government.

What says they didn't warn the government? Gugunbele implied the US shared the warning but wouldn't provide evidence.

Theres no proof of that, just a N24 source

What says they didn't warn the government? Gugunbele implied the US shared the warning but wouldn't provide evidence.

The SSA never informed Gungubele.

An impeccable source close to the State Security Agency (SSA) told News24 that the spook outfit was given information by their American counterparts, but neglected to include it in intelligence products, and had cut their political principal, Minister Mondli Gungubele, out of the loop.

It is understood that none of the weekly briefing documents sent to the Union Buildings included these alerts.

The source said that SSA operatives were "scrambling" to gather intelligence, adding that peace talks between warring parties in the Tigray region of Ethiopia currently underway in Pretoria could have been a potential target.

What proof would you like? Do the worlds intelligence services ever speak to you?

As I say, in a radio interview Gugunbele implied he was told by someone somewhere. That was him saying not some faceless source in the media.

Yes they do, an unnamed credible sauce told me it was a few gays were discussing their favourite bath bombs

So he wasn't told by the SSA then?

If you want to say something funny, make sure it is funny and doesn't drop like a lead balloon.

Assuming the SA gov would have issued a statement in a timeous manner.

Of course they would have. Just look at ....

Samantha Lethwaite
KZN
Zamma zamma attacks
danger of open sandals and t-shirts during CovId
Interpol amber notice dated Jul 2020

... oh wait, nvm.

Some more. The ability of the security services to detect:

Al Bashir fleeing SA
Grace Mugabe fleeing SA
Guptas fleeing SA.

When the public knew they would attempt to flee.

People really can't see that this was a slight by the US, huh.

I'm not one to defend our retarded government, but in this instance it's blatant what's happening.

Timing of this is questionable. It is just after Ramaphosa goes to Saudi Arabia and MBS may join BRICS.

America is known for its past false flag operations. This just seems like a political play more then anything else.

 

[Kosmik]

Was the warning not about a attack on the US embassy in Sandton, that's quite specific and not a general threat.
