The CIA won’t respond to a U.S. House Intelligence Committee request for information about leaks of classified data, said Representative Mike Rogers, the panel’s chairman.

The committee had asked about last month’s disclosure of information on an intelligence operation that thwarted plans by al-Qaeda’s Yemen affiliate to smuggle a potentially undetectable bomb onto a U.S.-bound airliner, according to a congressional aide who is not authorized to speak to the media.
