Blerim Skoro is a Kosovo-born former CIA operative whose life took a dramatic turn after deserting the Yugoslav army in the 1990s. Arriving in New York as an asylum seeker, Skoro’s journey led him from a drug trafficking conviction to becoming a key informant for the FBI and CIA post-9/11. Posing as a radicalized Islamist, he infiltrated al-Qaeda networks in the Balkans, Middle East, and Pakistan, providing critical intelligence. His covert work ended after a 2010 shooting in Macedonia, when the CIA severed ties, leaving him with minimal compensation. Facing deportation in 2016, Skoro’s story, detailed in the documentary The Accidental Spy, highlights the perils of espionage and abandonment by his handlers.

Shawn Ryan Show welcomes back Sarah Adams, Scott Mann and Legend to the show. This episode explores the growing influence of terrorist networks in Afghanistan and Syria, with guests detailing how al-Qaeda and the Taliban have facilitated the training and mobilization of fighters. They highlight U.S. policy missteps, including funding through NGOs and intelligence-sharing with questionable actors, which have inadvertently strengthened extremist groups. The discussion warns that the U.S. withdrawal from Syria could lead to the resurgence of ISIS and the ethnic cleansing of religious minorities. The panel critiques U.S. foreign policy, particularly the decision to engage with the Taliban while sidelining the Afghan resistance. They warn of al-Qaeda’s ongoing plans for attacks on U.S. soil and the infiltration of Taliban operatives through flawed vetting processes. The conversation underscores the lack of a long-term counterterrorism strategy, raising concerns that current missteps may lead to another major terrorist attack.
