Three consecutive paragraphs:

"US diplomats and intelligence officials said US agencies were initially skeptical of Wang's stories and that one of his most sensational claims, involving an alleged murder, was not circulated in Washington to officials normally briefed on such information.

"'We were not told about the murder (allegations) until much later,' after stories describing Wang Lijun's visit to the consulate surfaced in the media, one U.S. official told Reuters.

"This official and others said agencies in Washington dealing with the Wang case concluded that while intriguing, it was primarily a local sideshow involving individuals, including Wang himself, of questionable character and credibility.
