American counterintelligence officials have warned CIA stations and bases around the globe regarding troubling numbers of informants recruited to spy for the United States being captured or even killed, people close to the issue told the New York Times.

The newspaper reported Tuesday:

The message, in an unusual top secret cable, said that the C.I.A.’s counterintelligence mission center had looked at dozens of cases in the last several years involving foreign informants who had been killed, arrested or most likely compromised. Although brief, the cable laid out the specific number of agents executed by rival intelligence agencies — a closely held detail that counterintelligence officials typically do not share in such cables.
