The secrets of al-Qaeda: “The Bin Laden Papers”

Nelly Lahoud has taken a deep dive into Osama Bin Ladens files and looked at his plans for future attacks in her new book on “The Bin Laden Papers”.

Osama Bin Laden’s greatest fear was not capture or death, but the exposure of al-Qaeda’s secrets. In this webinar Nelly Lahoud presents her main findings from her recently published book – The Bin Laden Papers: How the Abbottabad Raid Revealed the Truth about al-Qaeda, Its leader, and His Family.

Dr. Lahoud dives into Bin Laden’s files and reveals Bin Laden plans for future attacks, al-Qaeda’s hostility toward countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Pakistan and first-hand accounts of al-Qaeda from 9/11 until the elimination of Bin Laden in 2011.

This webinar is led by Thomas Hegghammer and hosted by the Consortium for Research on Terrorism and International Crime.
