In this fascinating highlight from the Mic’d In New Haven Podcast, our guest recounts his involvement in an investigation involving a senior member of Al-Qaeda — and the extraordinary circumstances surrounding the suspect’s eventual apprehension and return to the United States.
The story takes us through years of investigative work, the development of a criminal case, intelligence gathering, and conversations with federal authorities.
Then came 2013.
A suspect who had been the subject of a longstanding investigation was apprehended overseas and ultimately brought back to the United States in custody.
For our guest, seeing that happen represented the culmination of work that had begun years earlier.
One of the most memorable elements of his recollection involves the Freedom Tower, a powerful backdrop to a story involving international terrorism and the pursuit of justice.
It’s a revealing look at how counterterrorism investigations can develop over many years, crossing international borders and involving cooperation among investigators and federal agencies before a suspect is finally brought into American custody.
