Rockford Native Among Murdered C.I.A. Agents

A suicide bomber killed C.I.A. Agent, Elizabeth Hanson, at a base in the Afghan mountains. On December 30th, Hanson was slain along with three American security guards, four CI.A. agents, and a Jordanian intelligence officer.

An armed Taliban member carried out the attack with explosives, and was apparently invited on the base. The C.I.A. allegedly utilized the Taliban member to gather intelligence information, before he sacrificed his life and others for the sake of his cause.

Hanson was a 1997 graduate of a private college prep school in Rockford, where she played tennis and worked on the yearbook. Next to Hanson’s photo in her class’ Senior Yearbook is an inspiring quote: “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.”

The Crosby Law Firm would like to thank Elizabeth Hanson for her valuable service to the United States, and the Hanson Family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
