Inside the Global Jihad, How I Infiltrated Al Qaeda and Was Abandoned By Western Intelligence. - Softcover - This is the story attested by specialists in international espionage and security of the man who infiltrated Al Qaeda. Gordon Corera, the BBC's security correspondent, has written an introduction to Omar Nasiri's memoir, setting in context his involvement in the global jihad.

Who is Omar Nasiri? Why does he matter? What makes his story worth telling? In the early 1990s, Nasiri, a Moroccan brought up in Europe, fell in with a gang of North African Islamist extremists who were planning attacks, raising money, and buying weapons and explosives. The DGSE, France's foreign espionage arm, recruited Nasiri as an informer - routine, workaday stuff at first, but his talents for dissimulation meant he became increasingly useful to his handlers. After proving himself to his superiors in Paris, they set him a seemingly impossible task: to infiltrate Al Qaeda's training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
