The CIA hosted a gay-pride celebration for its staff and colleagues from the National Security Agency back in 2000. A French counterintelligence official says that "in nearly 20 years in this business, I've never heard sexual orientation mentioned at all in discussing recruitment policies or individuals, including people whose homosexuality is a matter of virtual public record...
...meaning its record-setting death toll will likely rise in the coming days. But even the current toll from Tuesday's blast surpassed the impact of a double suicide bombing in Algiers last December, which killed 41, including 17 United Nations workers.

And while tenants are secured for more than four-fifths of the smaller tower on Bishopsgate, more than half of the 35-storey, $570 million Broadgate Tower is still to be leased out. It's a similar story a few hundred yards across the City at the Ropemaker building, British Land's $500 million tower also slated to open next year...
