Based on the only interviews ever carried out with the two main planners of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Masterminds of Terror is the incredible account of how Ramzi Binalshibh and Khalid Shaikh Mohammed plotted the 2001 assaults on the World Trade Centre, the Pentagon and Capitol Hill. Using unique investigative material, the authors build a vivid picture of how the catastrophic acts of terrorism were devised over the course of two years. They provide staggering information about the covert operations that preceded the disaster, the majority of which is previously unpublished. The book contains the full written justification for the attacks by Binalshibh, as well as the entire text of Yosri Fouda's interview with the two men - carried out in hiding as they were being hunted down. Masterminds of Terror contains extensive original material on Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda organisation and offers an astonishing account of the background of the most shocking terrorist attack the world has ever witnessed.
