Description
In the wake of 9/11, the U.S. intelligence community was consumed by a new counterterrorism mission in support of the global war on terrorism. The CIA conducted lethal operations against numerous targets, capturing or killing high-profile al Qaeda operatives around the world. But recent attacks, from Sri Lanka to New Zealand, show that counterterrorism efforts are far from over. Join the World Affairs Council for a conversation with former CIA targeter Nada Bakos, who worked on some of the agency’s highest profile cases, including al-Zarqawi and bin Laden. Bakos’s new book The Targeter, delayed by the CIA for years, reveals the inner workings of the CIA and the world of intelligence gathering post 9/11. Her book will be released on June 4th.
