Middle Eastern TV pushes red lines
The Bush Administration has been trying to democratize the Middle East by way of the ballot box, but a Nielsen box might be the better way to go.
Somewhere on the TV dial between the Arabic version of "Deal or No Deal" and the Al Zawraa Iraqi insurgent channel, the seeds of a paradigm shift lurk. Television in the Middle East is in the midst of a transformation.
Thriving Arab satellite networks are breaking down walls between countries and cultures and allowing divergent values to compete in the most public of arenas. And a new wave of private broadcasters is discovering an audience for Western-style decadence.

Followers of Omar Abdel Rahman made overtures to U.S. diplomats one year before the radical sheikh entered the United States on a visa approved by a CIA officer.
During several meetings with diplomatic officers at the U.S. embassy in Cairo, members of al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (The Islamic Group) provided extensive details about the operations of one of Egypt's most notorious terrorist organizations.
Initiated by al-Gama'a in 1989, the meetings were aimed at creating a dialogue with the U.S. in the hopes of eventual, unspecified cooperation. The initiative was based on a perception that the U.S. enjoyed similar cooperation with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
Less than four years after the approach, an al-Gama'a terror cell led personally by Abdel-Rahman bombed the World Trade Center in New York City.
The meetings are described in secret cables from the U.S. embassy in Cairo, which were declassified and released as part of a Freedom of Information Act request by INTELWIRE.

Yahya al-Libbi may be the next Osama bin Laden. In fact, he might be a better bin Laden than Osama ever was. Al-Libbi is a top al Qaeda operative captured by the Pakistanis in 2002. He was transferred to U.S. custody and subsequently escaped from a U.S.-run prison in Bagram, Afghanistan in 2005. His much-touted escape catapulted him to the top ranks of al Qaeda's visible leadership. Al-Libbi has produced more videos than Ayman Al-Zawahiri over the last year. He looks increasingly impressive with each appearance. His most recent release, this week, highlighted his strengths and may point to an elevated operational role within al Qaeda's "corporate" nexus.

CIA's Former Bin Laden-Hunter Looks To Future of War on Terror Al Qaeda's children are being trained as soliders to fight the next generation. Will America's children be equipped to face the world they will grow up to inherit? We asked Michael Scheuer, the former head of the CIA's bin Laden unit, now a terrorism analyst for CBS News, to talk about the multigenerational commitment of the extremists who have declared war on America. Here & Now's Robin Young hosts this sobering discussion on America's future war.

MOHAMMED JAMAL KHALIFA
Mohammed Jamal Khalifa was the brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden. U.S. and Philippines authorities alleged he was an al Qaeda financier, however Khalifa denied it and was never convicted of a crime. Khalifa was killed under mysterious circumstances in January 2007. INTELWIRE has broken several stories concerning Khalifa's 1994 arrest in the United States. Additional stories about his life and death are expected in 2007 and 2008.

Ali Mohamed was an Egyptian Islamic Jihad member and al Qaeda associate who infiltrated the U.S. Army and acted as an informant for the CIA and FBI, even as he took orders from Osama bin Laden and Ayman Al-Zawahiri. INTELWIRE's J.M. Berger exhaustively researched Mohamed's life for the National Geographic Channel in 2006.

AL QAEDA AND BOSNIA
During the mid-1990s, the U.S. provided covert support to Muslim fighters in Bosnia Herzegovina. Some of these fighters were linked to al Qaeda -- and covert support for the mujahideen networks continued even after U.S. became aware that Bosnia funds and resources had been redirected toward terrorism. This is an ongoing INTELWIRE investigation, and more stories are expected in 2008.

Third World Relief Agency
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.
