"They betrayed me"/ He infiltrated Al-Qaeda as a CIA informant, but
Blerim Skoro

A man originally from Kosovo, who claims to have worked as an informant for the CIA and provided valuable information about Osama bin Laden and individuals linked to terrorism, risks being deported from the United States.

Blerim Skoro, a 55-year-old father of three, was arrested earlier this month by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents outside an immigration detention center. Following the arrest, his lawyers have sought a stay of deportation proceedings.

Skoros' history with American authorities dates back to the period immediately following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. According to American and British media reports, he was in prison for drug trafficking when he was recruited to collaborate with the CIA.

In an interview given to "The Times" in 2024, Skoro indicated that he had not hesitated to accept the offer.

"I considered myself an American patriot first and a Muslim second. I wanted to give back to this country," he declared.

While in prison, Skoro reportedly shared a cell with the man behind the so-called “Millennium Plot,” a terrorist plot targeting Los Angeles International Airport. He also provided the FBI with information about Faysal Galab, a member of the group known as the “Lackawanna Six.”

Skoro claims that US authorities promised him safety in exchange for cooperation. However, after his release from prison in 2007, he was deported from the US, despite being married to an American citizen.

Just two days after his deportation, Skoro reportedly offered his cooperation to US authorities again. He claims he then managed to infiltrate an Al-Qaeda training camp and that during this period he also met with a Pakistani Taliban leader.

According to FBI documents cited by CBS News, Skoro had also provided US authorities with information considered reliable about Osama bin Laden.

He returned to the United States illegally after, according to his version, his identity as an informant was revealed and he was injured during an assassination attempt in Kosovo. Two years later, he was detained by US immigration authorities.

Now, facing the possibility of a new deportation, Skoro claims that returning to Kosovo would put his life in danger.

"I never thought I would be betrayed in this way. Please, if I have to die, I want to die in this place so my children can bury me," he said from the Elizabeth Detention Center in New Jersey.

His wife, Susan, has also reacted harshly to the situation.

"They betrayed him. He has served his sentence and almost lost his life. He deserves forgiveness," she declared, adding that the family believes Skoro cannot be safely deported.

The 55-year-old's case is now in the hands of US immigration authorities and courts, while his legal team is trying to stop the deportation.
