Site in New York Was Destroyed on Sept. 11 By JAMES <br>RISEN WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 - The Central Intelligence Agency's <br>clandestine New York station was destroyed in the Sept. 11 attack on <br>the World Trade Center, seriously disrupting United States intelligence <br>operations while bringing the war on terrorism dangerously close to home <br>for America's spy agency, government officials say.<br><br>The C.I.A.'s undercover New York station was in the 47-story building at<br>7 World Trade Center, one of the smaller office towers destroyed in the <br>aftermath of the collapse of the twin towers that morning. All of the <br>agency's employees at the site were safely evacuated soon after the <br>hijacked planes hit the twin towers, the officials said.<br><br>The intelligence agency's employees were able to watch from their office <br>windows while the twin towers burned just before they evacuated their <br>own building.<br><br>Immediately after the attack, the C.I.A. dispatched a special team to <br>scour the rubble in search of secret documents and intelligence reports <br>that had been stored in the New York station, either on paper or in <br>computers, officials said. It could not be learned whether the agency <br>was successful in retrieving its classified records from the wreckage.<br><br>A C.I.A. spokesman declined to comment. <p></p><i></i>
