Triple Cross Author: Peter Lance Binding: Hardcover, 640 pages ISBN: 0060886889 Price: RM109.90
Synopsis This is the most dangerous man I have ever met. We cannot let this man out on
the street." In the years leading to the 9/11 attacks, no single agent of al Qaeda was more
successful in compromising the U.S. intelligence community than Ali Mohamed. A
former Egyptian army captain, Mohamed succeeded in infiltrating the CIA in
Europe, the Green Berets at Fort Bragg, and the FBI in California—even as he
helped to orchestrate the al Qaeda campaign of terror that culminated in 9/11.
As investigative reporter Peter Lance demonstrates in this gripping narrative,
senior U.S. law enforcement officials—including the now-celebrated U.S. attorney
Patrick Fitzgerald, who personally interviewed Mohamed long before he was
brought to ground—were powerless to stop him. In the annals of espionage, few
men have moved between the hunters and the hunted with as much audacity as Ali
Mohamed. For almost two decades, the former Egyptian army commando succeeded in
living a double life. Brazenly slipping past watch lists, he moved in and out of
the U.S. with impunity, marrying an American woman, becoming a naturalized
citizen, and posing as an FBI informant—all while acting as chief of security
for Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri. Known to his fellow terrorists as Ali
Amiriki, or "Ali the American," Mohamed gained access to the most sensitive
intelligence in the U.S. counterterrorism arsenal while brokering terror
summits, planning bombing missions, and training jihadis in bomb building,
assassination, the creation of sleeper cells, and other acts of
espionage.Building on the investigation he first chronicled in his previous
books, 1000 Years for Revenge and Cover Up, Lance uses Mohamed to trace the
untold story of al Qaeda's rise in the 1980s and 1990s. Incredibly, Mohamed, who
remains in custodial witness protection today, has never been sentenced for his
crimes. He exists under a veil of secrecy—a living witness to how the U.S.
intelligence community was outflanked for years by the terror network. From his
first appearance on the FBI's radar in 1989—training Islamic extremists on Long
Island—to his presence in the database of Operation Able Danger eighteen months
before 9/11, this devious triple agent was the one terrorist they had to sweep
under the rug. Filled with news-making revelations, Triple Cross exposes the
incompetence and duplicity of the FBI and Justice Department before 9/11 . . .
and raises serious questions about how many more secrets the Feds may still be
hiding. |
