CIA Confidential

This is no James Bond story.

This EMMY AWARD-winning two-hour special brings to life the CIA’s infiltration of Afghanistan and Pakistan as they hunt for the perpetrators of September 11th.

Just days after the horrific attacks of 9/11, a team of seven CIA agents snuck into northern Afghanistan and began to lay the groundwork for war. Dubbed operation “Jawbreaker,” their goal was to take out al Qaeda, find Osama bin Laden and kill him. THE HUNT FOR BIN LADEN follows the story of this dangerous covert mission from the point of view of the CIA officers and top-secret Delta Force operators on the team.  PAKISTAN UNDERCOVER goes inside one of the most perilous battlegrounds of the new war: Pakistan. Join a 14-point strike to capture alleged al Qaeda logistician Abu Zubaydah and follow the CIA’s multi-national effort to capture alleged al Qaeda terror-broker Rashid Rauf before he can unleash a massive attack on US airliners.
