Blackhawk Down's Aftermath: Inside the Hunt for al-Qaeda

The 1998 embassy bombings in Africa were a devastating declaration of war by al-Qaeda against the United States. They launched a hunt for the masterminds, led by a legendary CIA operative in a country where American soldiers were not welcome. When the September 11th attacks changed everything, the mission became a top priority, leading to a new era of counter-terrorism. But the terrorists struck again, more lethal and organized than before. The CIA's risky plan to pay warlords for intelligence backfired, creating a "dirty war" on the streets of Mogadishu and strengthening al-Qaeda's protectors. This is the story of how America's best intelligence and special forces had to think of the unthinkable to hunt down the terrorists.
