Mohammed Zia Salehi

Mohammed Zia Salehi is the chief of administration for the National Security Council in Afghanistan.

According to an Aug. 25, 2010 New York Times article citing "officials in Kabul and Washington," Salehi is on the payroll of the Central Intelligence Agency. The article states it is not clear what Salehi does for the CIA.

In July, Salehi was arrested by Afghan police after he was wiretapped soliciting a car for his son as a bribe, in exchange for impeding an American-backed investigation into a company suspected of smuggling dollars out of the country. He was released seven hours later after Hamid Karzai intervened on his behalf.
