Hani Muhammad Mujahid spent years inside Al Qaeda before becoming an informant, and this Al Jazeera Investigates film sits him down for an extended interrogation about what he saw. He describes infiltrating a cell plotting the 2008 bombing and attempted storming of the US embassy in Yemen, an attack that killed several people, and says he tried to warn Yemen's security services in advance, only to be ignored. His central claim is more serious than negligence: he alleges that then-president Ali Abdullah Saleh's government had a working relationship with Al Qaeda, tolerating and even enabling the group's operations for its own political ends. Clayton Swisher leads the questioning, pressing Mujahid to substantiate specifics rather than simply retell his story, and the film uses that pressure to test how much of the account holds up. There's no reenactment spectacle here, just one man's testimony under scrutiny about collusion, betrayal, and an attack that officials had reason to see coming.
