Download The Hunt for KSM: Inside the Pursuit and Takedown of the Real 9-11 Mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed AudioBook Free
The definitive account of the decade-long quest and record of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the terrorist mastermind of 9/11. Only minutes after United 175 plowed into the World Trade Center's South Tower, people in positions of vitality correctly suspected who was simply behind the assault: Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda. Nonetheless it would be 1 . 5 years after September 11 before investigators would capture the actual mastermind of the attacks, the man behind bin Laden himself. That monster is the man who acquired his hands dirty while Osama fled; the man who was responsible for setting up Al Qaeda's global systems, who personally recognized and trained its terrorists, and who privately flew bomb parts on commercial airlines to test their invisibility. That man withstood waterboarding and many years of other powerful interrogations, not only denying Osama's whereabouts but making a literal game of the proceedings, after leading his pursuers across the globe and back. That man is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and he is still, to this day, the most significant Al Qaeda terrorist in captivity. In The Hunt for KSM, Terry McDermott and Josh Meyer go deep inside the united states government's dogged but flawed quest for this elusive and dangerous man. One couple of agencies chased him through many phony leads and narrow escapes for five years before 9/11. And now, drawing on a decade of investigative reporting and unprecedented access to hundreds of key sources, many of whom haven't spoken publicly - as well as jihadis and associates of KSM's family and support network - this is a heart-pounding trip inside the dangerous, labeled world of counterterrorism and espionage.
