 >Originally, blowback was CIA internal coinage denoting the unintended, harmful consequences to friendly populations and military forces, when a given weapon is used beyond its purpose as intended by the party supplying it. Examples include anti-Western religious figures //(ie **Osama bin Laden**)// who, in due course, attack foe and sponsor; right-wing counter-revolutionaries who sell drugs to their sponsor's civil populace //(ie: CIA and Contras cocaine trafficking in the US)//; and banana republic juntas //(ie: Salvadoran Civil War)// who kill American reporters or nuns //(ie: Dorothy Kazel)//.  >Originally, blowback was CIA internal coinage denoting the unintended, harmful consequences to friendly populations and military forces, when a given weapon is used beyond its purpose as intended by the party supplying it.
