After their initial introduction in 1994 , Fuisz and Lindauer continued to meet weekly to discuss her diplomatic contacts in the Middle East , specifically her work related to the lifting of U.S. sanctions against Libya and Iraq . In 2000 , the '' Sunday Herald '' acquired the text of Lindauer 's 1998 affidavit – in it , she claimed that Fuisz had infiltrated a network of Syrian terrorists tied to Iranian Hezbollah who were holding Americans hostage in Beirut , and that he was " first on the ground " in the investigation of the Lockerbie bombing because of his extensive contacts in Syria , but the CIA was destroying his reports instead of submitting them to investigators . In May of that year , the Herald published an article alleging that Fuisz was the CIA Station Chief in Damascus during the 1980s ; when asked to comment on the Herald 's claim and on his relationship to the CIA more generally , Fuisz remarked that " This is not an issue I can confirm or deny . I am not allowed to speak about these issues . In fact , I ca n't even explain why I ca n't speak about these issues . " Fuisz 's meetings with Lindauer ended abruptly on September 11 , 2001 , due to what Fuisz described as an increasingly " seditious bent " to her discussions
