From Khartoum to Kabul
Description
From Khartoum to Kabul is part of the inside story of America's 20 year search for Bin Laden, U.S. efforts and hesitations against Bin Laden before Sept. 11, the growth of the Al Qaeda threat during that time, and the uncertainty about whether to treat Bin Laden as a criminal or military threat. The 9/11 attacks on New York and the Pentagon had brought Bin Laden to the world's attention, but the mission to hunt and kill the terrorist leader had begun long before. Told through interviews and archive, From Khartoum to Kabul gives viewers the definitive inside story of how America's leaders, intelligence chiefs and the military tried and failed many times to track, find and take out the world's most wanted man. From Khartoum to Kabul is part of the BBC current affairs series The Hunt for Bin Laden which follows America's manhunt to find this elusive figure.
