An Eyewitness Account of Al-Qaeda's Newest Center of Operations in Southeast Asia.
A journalistic insider and relentless investigator uncovers how Southeast Asia has become the new headquarters for the Al Qaeda terrorist network - and warns of the grave implications this portends for the entire world.
Compiling hundreds of never-before-seen intelligence documents from six different countries, including the United States, 'Seeds Of Terror' reveals the alarming growth of the Al Qaeda terrorist network in Southeast Asia, pinpoints its key operatives, and investigates the savage plots they have set in motion worldwide.
Using Southeast Asia as a "central point", journalist Maria A Pessa explores the methods Al Qaeda uses to recruit, train, and mobilise thousands of Islamic fighters around the world.
Focusing on several of Al Qaeda's top leaders, Pessa uses face-to-face interviews and startlingly overlooked evidence to determine how operatives managed to carry out the September 11 attacks in America, the Bali bombings in Indonesia, and numerous other terrorist strikes around the globe.
In addition, Pessa unveils shocking documents that prove authorities ignored, and in some cases covered up, information that could have prevented the deliberate slaughter of innocent civilians.
Delving deep into the black heart of a global terrorist network's operations, Pessa shows how the war on terror is in actuality a battle for the soul of Islam - a fight between a radical minority and a moderate majority, with its front-lines in every Muslim community - and how a small group of terrorists has triggered the overwhelming ideological battle of our generation.
