Aimal Kansi (born 10 February or 22 October 1964 – 14 November 2002)[1][2] was a Pakistani national who was convicted of the 1993 shootings at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia.

[6][7][8] He entered the United States in 1991 under the name Mir Aimal Kansi and brought a substantial sum of cash which he had inherited in 1989 upon the death of his father.

"[9] According to Kansi, he first began to think of attacking CIA personnel after he bought a Chinese-made AK-47 from a Chantilly, Virginia gun store.

[9] On 25 January 1993, Kansi stopped his borrowed brown Datsun station wagon[12] behind a number of vehicles waiting at a red traffic light on the eastbound side of Route 123, Fairfax County.

[15] He hid the rifle in a green plastic bag under a sofa, went to a McDonald's to eat, and booked himself into a Days Inn for the night.

The CNN news reports he watched made it clear that police had misidentified his vehicle and did not have his license plate number.

Kansi stated, "I want to make it clear [that] the people who tricked me [...] were Pushtuns, they were owners of land in the Leghari and Khosa clan areas in Dera Ghazi Khan, but I will never name them.

[17] At 4 a.m. on 15 June 1997, an armed team of FBI officers, working with the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence, raided Kansi's hotel room.

His funeral was attended by the entire civil hierarchy of Balochistan, the local Pakistan Army Corps Commander and the Pakistani Ambassador to the United States, Ashraf Jahangir Qazi.

Prayers in Pakistan's National Assembly were led by Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, a religious leader elected from Quetta, who intoned, "God, destroy those who handed him over to America.
