On the Trail and Inside the Mind of Osama bin Laden
About this episode
It's impossible to understand the events of 9/11 without understanding Osama bin Laden. Who was he? What was he hoping to achieve with the attack? How did the US track him down? And what can we learn from that story now? Three women - a CIA analyst, an FBI investigator, and a scholar who read 6,000 pages of documents recovered from bin Laden’s compound after he was killed - recount how they came to know and understand Osama bin Laden.
Hear Peter Bergen on a recent episode of Global Dispatches.
