This program investigates the 1998 U.S. embassy terrorist bombings in East Africa which killed 224 and injured over 5,000. The U.S. believes wealthy Saudi Arabian dissident Osama bin Laden masterminded behind these terrorist attacks. The program probes bin Laden's life story--tracing his roots in Saudi Arabia's dissident movement, his participation with other Muslims in the Afghan war, the evidence gathered about his terrorist network, and examines the motivations of his radical Islam supporters and why they want the U.S. driven out of Saudi Arabia. This investigation also examines America's retaliatory missile strikes in the Sudan and Afghanistan against bin Laden's terrorist network and talks to a U.S. Muslim community about anti-Muslim stereotyping and prejudice.
