The New Jackals: Ramzi Yousef, Osama Bin laden and the Future of terrorism
Boston: Northeastern University Press, 1999. Hardcover. Fine in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 294 pp. with bibliography, index. Illustrated with photographs. A sadly prescient, intriguing book that traces the career of Ramzi Yousef, the British-educated Islamic extremist who masterminded the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and who was named at the time by the FBI the most dangerous man in the world. While running and hiding for his pursuers, he also bombed a Philippine Airlines flight, and Iranua temple, and plotted simultaneously to destroy eleven American airplanes over the Pacific, attach CIA headquarters using a light aircraft armed with chemical weapons, and to assassinate President Clinton, the Pope and other world leaders. The author also draws on previously unpublished documents, interviews with FBI agents, Western intelligence sources, and Yousef's supporters, victims, and collaborators to examine the terrorist's close links with Osama Bin laden, the then-shadowy figure behind global Islamic terrorism. Fine / fine. Item #E32453
