In 1999 Tenet put forward a grand “Plan” for dealing with al-Qaeda. In preparation, he selected new leadership for the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center (CTC). He placed Cofer Black in charge of the CTC, and Richard Blee (a “top- flight executive” from Tenet’s own suite) in charge of the CTC’s Bin Laden unit. Tenet assigned the CTC to develop the Plan. The proposals, brought out in September, sought to penetrate Qaeda’s “Afghan sanctuary” with U.S. and Afghan agents, in order to obtain information on and mount operations against Bin Laden’s network. In October, officers from the Bin Laden unit visited northern Afghanistan. Once the Plan was finalized, the Agency created a “Qaeda cell” (whose functions overlapped those of the CTC’s Bin Laden unit) to give operational leadership to the effort.

On May 7, 1999, during the Kosovo War, U.S. bombers struck the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, Serbia with five JDAM precision guided bombs, killing three Chinese reporters and injuring 20 others. The United States claimed the attack was accidental. In testimony before a congressional committee, Tenet later admitted the strike was the only one in the campaign organized and directed by his agency, though he still claimed it was not deliberate. Later analysis has suggested that a 100-yard (91 m) error in a military targeting database maintained by the Pentagon was not corrected or updated in a timely manner and that other systems intended to prevent such incidents failed to perform as expected. As a result of this and other incidents, systematic changes were made to pre-strike Rules of Engagement (ROE) for U.S. pilots, including checklists verifying target information and coordinates. China has never accepted the United States’ version of events, although Tenet in a published work noted in a bit of black humor that in the prelude to the bombing of Iraq, China had, through unofficial channels, provided the Agency with the exact GPS coordinates of their Embassy in Baghdad so as to ensure the CIA knew the precise location.
