وحسب مصادر أمنية؛ فإن المدعو أندرو وارن كان تحت المراقبة منذ وصوله الجزائر، وأن أجهزة الأمن المختصة في الجزائر كانت مزودة بملفه الكامل، وعلى اطلاع تام بفضائحه المستورة في مصر، هذه المعلومات الواردة في الملف، وراء قيام مصالح الأمن بتكليف أشخاص بمراقبة تحركاته منذ اللحظات الأولى لدخوله التراب الوطني، حيث لاحظوا عليه تردده على المساجد واهتمامه بالشرائح الإسلامية المتشددة، حيث كان يقوم بإرسال تقارير مفصلة بصفة منتظمة إلى مسؤوليه في "السي أي إيه

According to security sources the one by the name of Andrew Warren was under surveillance since his arrival in Algeria, and that the relevant security apparatuses in Algeria were provided with his complete file, and a complete examination of his hidden scandals in Egypt, this information found in his file, in addition security agencies entrusted individuals with monitoring his movements since the first moments of his arrival on national soil, where they noticed him frequenting mosques and his interest in segments of Islamic militantism, where he undertook sending detailed reports regularly to officials in the CIA.

According to reports which security agencies prepared immediately after the incident, before it was spilled out in the American media, Andrew Warren was working as a spy in Algeria under diplomatic cover, and he intended to recruit women to strengthen his intelligence work, and the photography operation of his two victims came in a disgraceful situation with the intention of blackmail later. Nevertheless, the two Algerian women who he raped came forward with an immediate complaint against him to the security apparatus, and this embarrassed the American official, where the authorities of his country set about deporting him quickly to Washington, merely to conceal the matter, where travelled in a very short period of time with the request of the American ambassador.
