An American intelligence service officer has been robbed. This incident happened in California. He was returning from work late at night when some criminals committed the robbery. The interesting thing is that the day all this happened, the American President was also on a tour in the same area.
The US security system and its intelligence inputs are considered to be the best in the entire world. But when the news comes that one of its intelligence officers was robbed at gunpoint, anyone can be surprised. This officer was a part of the US Secret Service. Secret Service agents are appointed for the security of the President. Apart from this, they are also appointed for the security of many people. These include former presidents, their spouses and children as well as other dignitaries.
This incident happened last week during President Joe Biden’s visit to California. President Joe Biden had gone to Los Angeles to raise funds for his election campaign. His visit was after the meeting of G7 member countries in Italy. It is not yet clear whether the intelligence officer who was robbed by the criminals was a part of President Joe Biden’s visit or not. The Secret Service has also not said why the agent was present there that day.
How did the whole incident happen?
