[Note: WTC- 7 was not engulfed in flames nor hit by an airplane] WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A CIA office operating at 7 World Trade Center [b]was destroyed[/b] when the building came down [b]after[/b] planes crashed into the twin towers, a U.S. official has confirmed to CNN. The official said the destroyed CIA office was engaged in counterterrorist and counterintelligence operations. "We're relocated, and we're in operation," said the official. Officials looked for documents to make sure none had scattered, and that they have "no reason to believe" any materials got into the hands of the "wrong people," the source said. The official would not discuss precisely what type of activities were conducted at the undercover office. The New York Times reported that the office "was, among other things, a base of operations to spy on and recruit foreign diplomats stationed at the United Nations, while de-briefing selected American business executives and others willing to talk to the CIA after returning from overseas." The official said no CIA employees were killed in the collapse of the building. 7 World Trade Center was one of a number of smaller buildings in the area that were destroyed after the twin towers collapsed.
