A couple of ways this could work out:

1. Dar Adal is a traitor. I don't buy this one.

2. Haqqani is a CIA-type plant that will be an asset in the Taliban or in Pakistan, similar to how they flipped Iran in Season 3. The Embassy attack was part of the plan and a "sacrifice" for the larger mission.

3. Dar Adal is there to kill Haqqani. Remember, he trained Quinn, so he's a bad arse as well. I wouldn't be surprised if Khan is involved to eliminate Haqqani as well in exchange for return to the US.

It might be a rogue mission between Dar Adal, Saul or a few others. Dar hates the direction the CIA is going and as a bonus, they can get Lockhart out and Saul back in as director.

I can't wait until the season finale.

Doubtful. We already played the Brody (and to a lesser extent the ambassador's husband) traitor game, and I don't see another character getting that treatment. Especially Dar

I think this is the most likely. Remember that Haqqani is a Taliban type fighting to get the Americans out of Afghanistan. Not a hardcore islamist wanting to strike at the neck of the infidels.

Doubtful. Dar seems to be the puppet master and not the trigger man. I think they are setting us up for a Dar/Quinn reunion involving Haqqani.
