Triple Cross: Bin Laden's Spy in America
INTELWIRE's J.M. Berger was lead researcher for this expose of Ali Mohamed, an Al Qaeda spy who infiltrated the U.S. Army and spent years as an FBI informant who secretly took his orders from Ayman Al Zawahiri and Osama bin Laden.
Mohamed's case is an engrossing study of al Qaeda's dangerous sleeper cell network in America, including his secret dealings with the FBI and the intelligence community, and his shocking 1993 disclosure of the existence of al Qaeda to the FBI -- three years earlier than the 9/11 Commission claimed U.S. authorities first heard the name.

Al Jazeera looks at the life and mysterious death of Mohammed Jamal Khalifa, a brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden and an alleged al Qaeda financier. Khalifa, who denied any links to terrorism, was accused of ties to Ramzi Yousef in the Philippines.
Arrested in the United States in 1994, he was deported to Jordan and later acquitted. Khalifa was assassinated in Madagascar in January 2007, just days after two INTERPOL bulletins concerning him were sent to U.S. intelligence agencies, as reported exclusively by INTELWIRE.
Along with terrorism expert Peter Bergen and bestselling author Lawrence Wright, INTELWIRE's J.M. Berger discusses the curious case of Khalifa in this hourlong documentary. Berger also provided exclusive documents used during the Arabic language program (click for program page and audio). An English-language version of the program is currently in production.
Berger's original reporting on Khalifa draws on dozens of exclusive and never-before-published documents, exclusive sources and more. Highlights include:
AmericanJihadists.com is a new Web site in the INTELWIRE.com family. This site will start as a blog connecting to resources and documents on the subject of American citizens who take part in military jihad activities. The blog will give way in 2010 to a broader and more ambitious Web site that provides detailed source material from J.M. Berger's forthcoming book, "American Jihadists." I hope to have an update soon with details about the book release.
