In diesem Buch entlarven die beiden Geheimdienstspezialisten Brisard und Dasquie die Geschichte brisanter politischer Verbindungen, die durch das Attentat vom 11. September eine tragische Dimension erhielten. Ihre Recherche beruht auf zuverlässigen Quellen - internen Dokumenten des Geheimdienstes und unveröffentlichte Zeugenaussagen - und beschreibt die geheimen Verhandlungen zwischen der US-Administration und den Taliban bis zum Sommer 2001. Den Autoren gelingt es, tief in die Welt Osama bin Ladens und seiner Verbündeten einzutauchen, so daß ein anschauliches Bild eines Mannes entsteht, der zugleich Partner des Westens und Drahtzieher des Terrors ist.
An international bestseller, banned in Switzerland by the bin Laden family, Forbidden Truth by Jean-Charles Brisard & Guillaume Dasquie shows how US national security in Afghanistan was disastrously compromised by corporate oil interests & Saudi Arabia. Brisard wrote the 1st intelligence report on the bin Laden financial networks which was used to close down fraudulent Islamic charities funding terrorism, a report that President Jacques Chirac handed to George Bush on his visit to the US in the wake of 9/11. Forbidden Truth reveals that French intelligence gave the FBI unambiguous information that the so-called 20th hijacker, Zacarias Massaoui, was tied to Al Qaeda, a story Brisard broke to Salon magazine before Special Agent Coleen Rowley came out publicly to say the FBI stifled the investigation. John O'Neill the former head of the FBI's antiterrorism division--who perished in the World Trade Center--told Jean-Charles Brisard in 7/01, "All of the answers, all of the clues allowing us to dismantle Osama bin Laden's organization, can be found in Saudi Arabia." The result of three years of investigation by a leading French intelligence expert & investigative journalist, Forbidden Truth is the untold story of the Clinton & Bush attempts to stabilize Afghanistan so that US energy companies could build a pipeline. In particular, it details the secret hazardous diplomacy between the Bush administration & the Taliban from February to August 2001--a story still untold in the US media--talks that ultimately led the US to make threats via Pakistani intermediaries to the Taliban in 7/01 that they were going to bomb Afghanistan if the Taliban didn't comply.
