The New Jackals: Osama bin Laden, Ramzi Yousef and the Future of Terrorism

On September 11, 2001, two hijacked planes destroyed the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, and since then the world has been at war with an enemy that cannot be traced by national borders. The traces have led to the vast terrorist network of the Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden.

The New Jackals is British journalist Simon Reeve's chilling account of the new terrorism. Reeve has done exhaustive research in research archives and government agencies, but he has also gained access to less public sources and secret reports. Many people involved, such as government officials, FBI agents and spies, have provided him with information.

Using the most famous terrorist attacks of recent years, those of Ramzi Yousef on the WTC in 1993 and on the embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, Reeve creates a chilling picture of Osama bin Laden, the world's most wanted terrorist, his organization, and the great dangers that threaten Western society.

Simon Reeve is a journalist who has established himself as one of the world's leading experts on corruption, organised crime and terrorism.

"On the international level, the only form of terrorism that the United States has had to deal with in recent years is that of Osama bin Laden and before that Ramzi Yousef." Oliver "Buck" Revell, former deputy director of the FBI
