Third World War Al Qaeda The Hiddden Enemy
An authoritative and revealing series about the "war on terror", with unprecedented access to American, British, European and Australian intelligence agencies, and to the enemies they are fighting. The global fightback against al-Qaeda and its allies, documented by award-winning reporter Peter Taylor. The Hidden Enemy. Ten months before the 9/11 attacks, intelligence agencies foiled a terrorist plot in Frankfurt that would have resulted in a similar tragedy in Europe. The breaking of the cell led to the uncovering of an international network with its roots in Europe and leadership in London. But even as it was being dismantled, allies silently regrouped to ensure that al-Qaeda's cells were even more difficult to identify and interdict. London and the UK are now al-Qaeda's prime targets - can the security and intelligence agencies stop them before they get through? http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/23b95d32b0e4433a81c692b12c793a52
