Al Qaeda in America contains more than 400 pages of detailed accounts describing the tactics and activities of nearly a dozen al Qaeda and al Qaeda-linked agents operating on U.S. soil, most of whom are American citizens. Documents include Grand Jury testimony, sworn FBI affidavits, FBI interrogation records, indictments and trial memorandums, and exclusive original analysis of al Qaeda's post-9/11 sleeper capacity by editor J.M. Berger.

View Table of Contents Buy this book Ali Mohamed
Ali Mohamed is a terrorist without peer. He trained al Qaeda's most lethal operatives and literally wrote the book on how to run a sleeper cell operation. And he practiced what he preached -- infiltrating the U.S. Army, compromising a CIA undercover operation and acting as an FBI informant for years -- even as he helped plan and execute the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1998 East African Embassy bombings. All the while, he was creating an underground network of terrorist resources that would be used to accomplish the September 11 attacks. His story is required reading for counterterrorism officials. Mohamed's sobering tale shows just what al Qaeda's top operatives are capable of.

View Table of Contents Buy this book Mohammed Jamal Khalifa
Controversy surrounds the figure of Mohammed Jamal Khalifa. A brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden, he was accused of being an al Qaeda financier, yet no one ever successfully convicted him of a crime. He was arrested in the United States in 1994 and deported in 1995 under mysterious circumstances. In 2007, he was assassinated -- just days after U.S. officials received intelligence from INTERPOL concerning his status as part of a project to exploit information from captured terror suspects. To his dying day, he denied all involvement in terrorism -- and some of the leading journalists covering al Qaeda believed him. This collection of documents includes exclusive original reporting by INTELWIRE's J.M. Berger, who broke the INTERPOL story and revealed for the first time that Khalifa was placed in maximum security lockdown in a California prison after the Oklahoma City bombing. Exclusive documents in this volume also reveal new information about his deportation and how U.S. officials maintained a hold on him after he left the country. Documents from this collection were used as part of "Killing Abu Baraa," an episode of al Jazeera's Top Secret with Yosri Fouda. Berger was a featured expert on the program.

Never before has such a detailed account been published regarding the 1979 seizure of Mecca by Islamic extremists. A series of gripping State Department communiques outline the dramatic event day by day, even by hour, including shocking, never-published information about additional rumored attacks, U.S. intelligence penetration of the Saudi government and Saudi efforts to mislead the world regarding the situation at the Grand Mosque. After-action reports include the names and nationalities of executed suspects, and evidence that the Egyptian sect Takfir Wal Hijra was involved in the attack. The book also offers new information about a possible link between the siege and the bin Laden family.
