===CIA’s Use of BCCI Accounts===
CIA officials later admitted to using BCCI to move funds for covert operations, as noted in a 1992 congressional report. The agency’s reluctance to share information about its BCCI ties during Senate investigations led to suspicions of a cover-up. Some investigators believe the CIA protected BCCI to preserve it as an intelligence asset, potentially shielding Abedi from scrutiny until the bank’s collapse in 1991.
