A truck displaying the symbol ‘Z’ in support of Russia’s military in Ukraine parked outside a new building complex in St. Petersburg, Russia, controlled by Yevgeny Prigozhin, who owns the Wagner Group. WASHINGTON—North Korea has sent a large arms delivery to the Wagner Group, the Russian mercenary force whose influence and operations in Ukraine are growing, according to the Biden administration. North Korea last month shipped infantry rockets and missiles to the Wagner Group, which paid for the weaponry, John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council at the White House, said Thursday.

A House report criticizes former President Donald Trump’s response to the pandemic as it spread from China around the globe in early 2020; a Massachusetts Covid-19 ward. WASHINGTON—Three years after Covid-19 began, U.S. intelligence agencies still haven’t made changes needed to provide better warnings of global health crises and support U.S. leaders when the next pandemic hits, a House Intelligence Committee report released on Thursday concludes. “The intelligence community has not recognized that health security is national security–and has not made organizational changes to make that realization manifest,” says the report on spy agencies’ response to the Covid pandemic, which has killed nearly 1.1 million Americans.

Ukrainian military members searched destroyed sections of the Kherson International Airport, which was used by Russian forces as a base before their retreat this month. WASHINGTON—The CIA’s espionage chief used his first in-person public appearance since taking the post last year to make a pitch to potential agents. David Marlowe , the CIA’s deputy director of operations, told an academic audience that the invasion of Ukraine has been a massive failure for Russian President Vladimir Putin and opens opportunities for Western intelligence agencies among disaffected Russians.

  + stars: | 2022-11-09 | by ( Dustin Volz | Warren P. Strobel | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
A rough transcript of a 2004 interview George W. Bush and Dick Cheney gave to a government commission investigating the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks provides a glimpse of the former president’s and vice president’s views of the seminal event that defined their eight years in the White House. The April 2004 interview with the bipartisan 9/11 commission, which took place in the Oval Office, included discussion of intelligence warnings before the attacks and the events that unfolded on the day of Sept. 11, according to the copy of the 31-page document. It also describes Mr. Bush acknowledging that Air Force One had poor communications while he was on the plane shortly after the attacks began—and Mr. Bush’s assertion that he gave Mr. Cheney the authority to shoot down commercial airliners that were unresponsive.

WASHINGTON—U.S. lawmakers are weighing plans to pass a multibillion-dollar aid package for Ukraine before year’s end, congressional aides said, reflecting fears among Democrats and some Republicans that a new and potentially GOP-controlled Congress would be less supportive of such assistance. The discussions, which haven’t yielded a concrete legislative proposal, are aimed at wrapping potentially tens of billions of Ukraine aid in a must-pass, year-end government funding package, assuring Kyiv of continued military and economic support through 2023, the aides said. Congress has until Dec. 16 to fund the government and avoid a shutdown.
☆ Who Saw Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Documents: How the Government Probes National-Security Risk
  + stars: | 2022-09-26 | by ( Warren P. Strobel | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
WASHINGTON—The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which coordinates all U.S. spy agencies, is conducting a damage assessment to gauge the potential risk to national security from the mishandling of highly classified documents at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Former intelligence and law-enforcement officials who have been involved in past damage assessments say they are painstaking affairs, aimed at determining who had access to the materials and whether highly sensitive U.S. intelligence-gathering programs were disclosed to adversaries. Here is what we know about the process of establishing what, if any, security risks were posed by the insecure way in which documents were stored.
☆ CIA Unveils Model of Ayman al-Zawahiri’s Safe House in Revamped Museum

LANGLEY, Va.—The CIA’s newly refurbished museum tells the story of some daring spy schemes that were successful, others that worked only partially or for a while, and some flat-out failures. Its newest exhibit is from the first category. The model of the Kabul safe house where the CIA located al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri and killed him on July 31 in a drone strike remained a secret until a few days ago, when it was declassified and took its place alongside spy cameras, expendable one-shot pistols and hundreds of other artifacts in the museum at the Central Intelligence Agency’s suburban Virginia headquarters.

Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines and other top U.S. officials appeared before the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this year. WASHINGTON—U.S. spy agencies are poorly equipped to combat an expanding array of adversaries trying to steal vital secrets from institutions and businesses across American society, according to a Senate report released on Tuesday. The bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee says that U.S. counterintelligence efforts haven’t kept pace with espionage, hacking and disinformation threats from major powers such as China, transnational criminal organizations and ideologically motivated groups.
☆ Rise of Open-Source Intelligence Tests U.S. Spies

Satellite imagery of Moscow amassing troops near the border with Ukraine allowed analysts to predict the Russian invasion in February. WASHINGTON—As Russian troops surged toward Ukraine’s border last fall, a small Western intelligence unit swung into action, tracking signs Moscow was preparing to invade. It drew up escape routes for its people and wrote twice-daily intelligence reports. The unit drafted and sent to its leaders an assessment on Feb. 16, 2022, that would be eerily prescient: Russia, it said, would likely invade Ukraine on Feb. 23, U.S. East Coast time.
