CIA boss victim of ancient Albanian jinx?

TIRANA (Reuters) - While heavyweight pundits ponder the 'real reasons' behind CIA director George Tenet's sudden resignation, a Tirana newspaper has offered a typically whimsical explanation: he fell victim to an ancient Abanian curse.

The Korrieri daily said on Friday the Central Intelligence Agency chief's resignation on Thursday fell a day before he had been due to visit Albania.

"If he had not planned a visit to Albania, probably he would have not been struck by the curse of the Pojan jinx," editor Alfred Peza said in his column, citing a supposed evil spirit that jinxed the villagers of Pojan back in the mists of time.

Tenet was clearly felled by the jinx, wrote Peza, as were the late Soviet Army Marshal Georgy Zhukov, former West German foreign minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher and others who were demoted or quit after becoming involved with Albania.
