The Central Intelligence Agency, often called the CIA, is the main foreign intelligence agency of the US government. Here's a quick rundown:
- Mission: Collect, analyze, and disseminate intelligence about foreign developments that affect US national security. This includes political, economic, military, scientific, and technological information.
- Activities: The CIA gathers intelligence through human sources (spies) and other methods, conducts covert operations, and influences foreign governments and political groups.
- Leadership: The CIA is headed by the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI), who reports to the Director of National Intelligence.
- History: Established in 1947 after World War II, the CIA grew out of the wartime Office of Strategic Services (OSS).
