NEW JACKALS
Reeve, Simon
1999 44746 In the aftermath of the despicable terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001, fingers are being pointed in the direction of Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden. In The New Jackals, journalist Simon Reeve documents the activities and motives of bin Laden and his accomplice Ramzi Yousef, who masterminded the 1993 bomb blast at the World Trade Center. Written prior to the destruction of the World Trade Center, Reeve's book offers some clues to the mind-set behind the mass murder of innocents and stands as a chilling and prophetic early warning of a new era in the war against global terrorism. From the Publisher Simon Reeve is a journalist and writer. He worked for The Sunday Times for five years before leaving to finish co-writing The Millennium Bomb, published in 1996. He has since contributed to books on corruption, organized crime and terrorism, and has written investigative feature articles for publications ranging from Time magazine to Esquire. He lives in London. During research for The New Jackals Reeve has eaten ice cream sorbet with Benazir Bhutto, spent hours sitting in stairwells on a London housing estate waiting for a former Lebanese smuggler, met American intelligence officials in suburban burger bars and a Chinese restaurant, and been followed by agents from two different countries during meetings with a renegade Asian spy.
Ramzi Yousef, Osama bin Laden and the 'Afghan Arabs' have "dominated international terrorism as it relates to the United States and Europe [in the 1990s]. At the international level the only terrorist apparatus that the United States has had to deal with over the past several years has been Osama bin Laden and before that Ramzi Yousef." Oliver 'Buck' Revell, former Deputy Director of the FBI. "Ramzi Yousef is an evil genius." Senior Pakistani intelligence officer. "Yousef was a pretty unique person. He liked the bar scene, he liked women, he liked moving around. Yousef was very good. He was well trained, very clever. He'll certainly be ranked right up there with the all-timers. Even to this day, he is a very shadowy figure that we really don't know that much about, even after all that's been done and all that's been investigated on him." Neil Herman, the FBI Supervisory Special Agent who led the New York Joint Terrorist Task Force during the hunt for Yousef. "Yes, I am a terrorist, and I'm proud of it." Ramzi Yousef. "In the past, we were fighting terrorists with an organisational structure and some attainable goal like land or the release of political prisoners. But Ramzi Yousef is the new breed, who are more difficult and hazardous. They want nothing less than the overthrow of the West, and since that's not going to happen, they just want to punish - the more casualties the better." Oliver 'Buck' Revell, former Deputy Director of the FBI. "He's a cold-blooded terrorist. He doesn't care who he kills. He may be the most dangerous man in the world." Superintendent Samuel Pagdilao of the Philippines National Police describing Yousef. "One man said to me 'remember there will only be those who believe and those who will die. There will only be the dead and the believers'." Benazir Bhutto, former Prime Minister of Pakistan. "If Russia can be destroyed, the United States can also be beheaded." Osama bin Laden. "In my personal view [Osama bin Laden] is very much interested in obtaining weapons of mass destruction and he has the money to pay for them. It's certainly a credible threat." Peter Probst, Pentagon terrorism expert. "We don't consider it a crime if we tried to have nuclear, chemical, biological weapons. If I have indeed acquired these weapons, then I thank God for enabling me to do so." Osama bin Laden. "Terrorism is changing. We expect biological attacks in the future." Marvin Cetron, author of the Pentagon's secret Terror 2000 inves Northeastern University Press 1-55553-407-4 / 9781555534073

THE NEW JACKALS : RAMZI YOUSEF, OSAMA BIN LADEN, AND THE FUTURE OF TERRORISM
Reeve, Simon
02867515 Hard Cover. Brand New/Very Good Book Jacket. 6 x 9". This is the astonishing true story of the most dangerous men in the world ! . February 26, 1993 ---- a massive bomb devastated New York's World Trade Center, creating more hospital casualties than any event in American history since the Civil War. Ramzi Yousef, the young British-educated terrorist who masterminded the attack, had been seeking to topple the twin towers and cause tens of thousands of fatalities. .An intensive FBI investigation into the crime quickly developed into a man-hunt that took top FBI agents across the globe. But even with the FBI on his trail, Yousef continued with his campaign of terror. He bombed an airplane and an Iranian shrine. He tried to kill Benazir Bhutto, the former Pakistani Prime Minister, and planned to assassinate the Pope, President Clinton and simultaneously destroy 11 airliners over the Pacific Ocean using tiny undetectable bombs. He also plotted an attack on the CIA headquarters with a plane loaded with chemical weapons. His pursuers dubbed Yousef "an evil genius". .During their huge investigation FBI agents discovered that Yousef was funded and sent on some of his attacks by Osama bin Laden, a mysterious Saudi millionaire. By the mid-1990s they realized bin Laden had become the most influential sponsor of terrorism in the world, and agents now conclude that since the early 1990s a small group of terrorists supported by bin Laden have dominated international terrorism. These "Afghan Arabs" helped defeat the Soviets in Afghanistan before killing thousands of people in campaigns against governments in the West, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. When bin Laden's followers attacked American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania on 7 August 1998, killing 224 people, the US finally launched cruise missile strikes in an attempt to destroy his secret organization. . Drawing on unpublished reports, interrogation files, interviews with senior FBI agents who hunted Yousef, intelligence sources and government figures including Benazir Bhutto, Simon Reeve gives a harrowing account of Yousef's bombings, offers a revealing insight into his background, and details the FBI's man-hunt to catch him. . Reeve explains how Yousef was one of bin Laden's first operatives and documents bin Laden's life and emergence as the leader of a potent terrorist organization, giving fascinating insights into the man President Clinton has called "the pre-eminent organizer and financier of international terrorism in the world today". .Highly detailed and yet immensely readable, "The New Jackals" sheds new light on two of the world's most notorious terrorists. Reeve warns that Yousef and bin Laden are just the first of a new breed of terrorist, men with no restrictions on mass killing. He also offers evidence that bin Laden's organization may already have chemical and nuclear weapons and explains why the world could soon face attacks by terrorists with weapons of mass destruction. .
