When star Al-Jazeera TV reporter Yosri Fouda received an
anonymous call summoning him to a secret interview in
Pakistan with al-Qaeda, he knew he could be walking into a
deadly trap, as Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl
had done only months before. But he took the risk and hit
pay dirt. For 48 hours, Fouda listened as two of the world's
most wanted men, Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, head of al-Qaeda's
military committee, and Ramzi Binalshibh, the link between
Mohammed Atta and the senior al-Qaeda leadership, proudly
claimed responsibility for the 9/11 attacks on New York and
the Pentagon-the first time al-Qaeda took direct
responsibility. During the course of the in-depth interview,
they detailed exactly how, over a two-year period, the plot
was conceived, planned, and executed. Based on that
interview and hours of follow-up investigation, MASTERMINDS
OF TERROR also contains dramatic accounts of the subsequent
seizure of both Binalshibh and Mohammed and analyzes
al-Qaeda's attempts to justify its actions on what it calls
'Holy Tuesday.'
