The CIA and controversial U.S. security company, Blackwater, are in the middle of a new anti-terrorist scandal - this time, in Germany. According to Der Spiegel magazine, a team of Blackwater operatives, hired by the CIA, were allegedly working in Hamburg five years ago. They had a secret mission to kidnap a German citizen with suspected ties to Al-Qaeda and 9/11 terror attacks, the report said. The story is gaining momentum as it follows controversy over CIA operations in Yemen and the German parliament's promised to look into the matter closely.
