  After entering this country [USA], Kansi applied for asylum 11
months after coming in. At that time, he admitted he had entered at 
Kennedy Airport and had not been inspected, Austin told India Abroad, 
adding, "So far we have no record of his entry."
                        Purchased Guns
  Born in Quetta on Oct. 2, 1964, Kansi has a father named 
Abdollahjan, according to the INS. Because of lax gun laws in 
Virginia, he was able to purchase several guns, including an AK-47, on 
Jan. 16 and 22 of this year [1993].
  The police say that ballistic tests showed the AK-47 found in 
Kansi's apartment in Reston, Virginia, was the one used to commit the 
crime in the countryside where the CIA headquarters are situated.
  The kilings have set off a statewide debate and fueled the 
nationwide discussion on the absence of safeguards when purchasing 
guns. The ease with which Kansi bought the guns over the counter in 
Virginia has set state legislators and the public on the reform path. 
The National Rifle Association, the most powerful lobby against gun 
control in the country, says that further regulations would not 
prevent such killings.
                        Roommate Told Police
  Kansi's Pakistani roommate at the Laurel Glade apartment complex in 
Fairfax County, Virginia, informed the police about his disappearance.
  While in the U.S. Kansi worked for a courier service that is owned 
by the son of a former CIA agent, Victor Marchetti, who quit the 
agency in the 1970s. But CIA watchers like David McMichael, also a 
former CIA operative who now brings out a publication on covert 
actions of the U.S. government called Unclassified, said this could be 
more coincidence than anything else.
  The two CIA men who were killed, Lansing C. Bennet, 66, and Frank 
Darling, 28, also lived in Reston. According to McMichael, Kansi and 
the two victims lived within half a mile of each other. But that could 
mean nothing because a number of CIA employees live in Reston, he 
commented, including himself when he worked with the agency.
  But he pointed out that the event could not have come at a better 
time for the CIA, an outfit beleaguered by its past history and 
currently unpoppular with the public and in Congress. A redefinition 
of its role in a post-cold war world is under way in this country 
[America].
  "This was a good public relations event to show how these guys put 
their lives on the line," McMiciael said, with all due respect to the 
deceased employees.
                            53 Operatives Died
  But the irony of it, he noted, was that since its inception in 1947, 
53 CIA operatives had lost their lives.
  "It may be dangerous working for the CIA, but it's a heck of a lot 
more dangerous to be working for a 7 eleven," he remarked. The 7 
Elevens are a chain of convenience stores that remain open 24 hours.
  Meanwhile, a worldwide manhunt is under way for Kansi and the 
Interpol service has been brought in to help the FBI.

  There are several interesting points here. Not the least of which is 
how INS has either refused for forgotten why Khansi was applying for 
political assylum. And how his boss just happened to be an ex-CIA 
spook. Tell me if I'm the only one who smells a rat?  Mark Wandrey
