The Triple Agent: The al-Qaeda Mole who Infiltrated the CIA Audiobook (Free)

A sensational narrative account from the mysterious Jordanian who penetrated both inner group of al-Qaeda and the best reaches from the CIA, using a devastating impact on the war on terror.

In Dec 2009, a group of the CIA’s best terrorist hunters gathered at a key foundation in Khost, Afghanistan, to greet a rising superspy: Humam Khalil al-Balawi, a Jordanian double-agent who infiltrated the top ranks of al-Qaeda. For months, he previously sent shocking revelations in the about The Triple Agent: The al-Qaeda Mole who Infiltrated the CIA terrorist network and now promised to greatly help the CIA assassinate Osama bin Laden’s best deputy. Instead, as he stepped from his car, he detonated a thirty-pound bomb strapped to his chest, instantly eliminating seven CIA operatives, the agency’s most severe loss of lifestyle in decades.

In The Triple Agent, Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Joby Warrick will take us deep inside the CIA’s key battle against al-Qaeda, a battle that pits robotic planes and laser-guided missiles against a cunning foe intent on unleashing carnage in American metropolitan areas. Flitting precariously between the two edges was Balawi, a man with incredible gifts who were able to win the self-confidence of solidified terrorists as well as veteran spymasters. Along with his breathtaking accounts from inside al-Qaeda’s lair, Balawi appeared poised to become America’s best double-agent in half a century-but he had not been at all what he appeared. Combining the effective momentum of Dark Hawk Down using the institutional insight of Jane Mayer’s The Dark Side, Warrick takes the readers on a harrowing journey in the slums of Amman to the internal chambers of the Light House in an untold true tale of miscalculation, deception, and revenge.
