Inside the Jihad: My Life with Al Qaeda |
Now, for the first time, Nasiri shares the story of his life--a life balanced precariously between the world of Islamic jihadists and the spies who pursue them. As an Arab and a Muslim, he was able to infiltrate the rigidly controlled Afghan training camps, where he encountered men who would later be known as the most-wanted terrorists on earth: Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, Abu Zubayda, and Abu Khabab al-Masri. Sent back to Europe with instructions to form a sleeper cell, Nasiri became a conduit for messages going back and forth between Al Qaeda's top recruiter in Pakistan and London's radical cleric Abu Qatada.
A gripping and provocative insider's account of both Islamist terror networks and the intelligence services that spy on them, Inside the Jihad offers a completely original perspective on the ongoing battle against Al Qaeda.
作者简介 Omar Nasiri (not his real name) was born in Morocco and currently resides in Germany with his wife.
媒体推荐 "Inside the Jihad is the astonishing, well-told story of Omar Nasiri (a pseudonym), who penetrated al-Qaeda's training camps in Afghanistan in the mid 1990s as a spy for France's intelligence services. Al Qaeda defectors...have provided accounts of the Afghan camps, but nothing available publicly approaches the level of detail that Nasiri gives here." -- Washington Post, November 17, 2006
"Inside the Jihad reads like a John le Carre novel. It is replete with tales of phony passports, envelopes stuffed with cash and cloak-and-daggar meetings...Mr. Nasiri's account of the camps is detailed and chilling." -- New York Times, November 17, 2006
"A good read...the real value of Nasiri's memoir lies in the insight into the minds of young, mostly European Muslims." -- Middle East Quarterly
"It is a fascinating story of a man who says he betrayed his brothers to the police and then had contact with senior al Qaeda leaders at a terror training camp in Afghanistan -- all the while spying for French, British and German intelligence" -- CNN.com
