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:
A recent story in the New York Times focused on the Third World Relief Agency, a Bosnian "charity" with links to the Saudi government on one hand, and to Al Qaeda on the other. For several months now, INTELWIRE has been studying the key document for that story as part of the documentary, Sarajevo Ricochet, a Norwegian TV production dealing with the war in Bosnia and its connection to terrorism.
INTELWIRE's J.M. Berger is available for media outlets looking for someone who can knowledgeably discuss this document, Third World and its connection to Al Qaeda. You can contact him through the Multifaceted Media Group Web site.
