“Two Algerian women came forward last Sept. saying they had been sexually assaulted by [CIA station chief Andrew Warren] while at his home in Algiers,” stated ABC News.  Warren, 41, was stationed in Algeria since 2007.

The job of a CIA station chief is to “run the agency’s operations in foreign countries while managing relationships with the host nation’s security services,” said BBC News.

The officials state that the U.S. Ambassador David Pearce, sent Warren back to America from Algeria in October after learning of the two women that accused him of rape.

The women had been invited, on separate occasions, to dinner parties at Warren’s home.  Both say that they had been drinking and then suddenly felt ill, passed out, and woke with no recollection of what had happened.

After waking, both of the women said they felt as though they had been sexually assaulted. In both cases, the women did not report the incidents until  months later.

The Algerian ambassador to the United States, Abdallah Baali, told CNN that the U.S. authorities have been keeping the Algerian government informed about the situation.

Baali said Algeria has been given, “full assurance that the investigation will get to the bottom of these allegations, and if this individual is found guilty, he will be prosecuted [to the fullest extent of the law].”
