Ali Mohamed spent the 1980s and 1990s working simultaneously for the CIA, the US Army, and the terrorist networks he was supposedly helping America fight. Born in Egypt, he talked his way past a CIA background check, enlisted at Fort Bragg where he trained Green Berets, and used his military access to smuggle out training manuals and tactics that ended up in al Qaeda's hands. The film traces how he took orders from Egyptian Islamic Jihad while still on the US payroll, then moved into bin Laden's inner circle, training his fighters and reportedly scouting the Nairobi embassy that al Qaeda bombed in 1998, killing over 200 people. Interviews with former intelligence officials and investigators lay out how many separate warnings about Mohamed were raised, and ignored, across different agencies over more than a decade. The film's real subject is that failure of coordination: not one dramatic betrayal, but years of an infiltrator hiding in plain sight because no single office was watching the whole picture.
