Denmark’s Intelligence and Security Agency (PET) Chief Jakob Scharf has categorically denied that his agency was involved in furnishing information to American authorities, which led to the liquidation of al-Qaeda’s Anwar al-Awlaki in 2011.
“It is an absolute rule at PET that we are a civilian intelligence agency. We cannot and will not take part in operations that do not have a civilian goal,” Scharf says in his first interview since an apparently dissatisfied former informant has alleged PET involvement in plans to kill al-Awlaki.
