Holy War, Inc.: Inside the Terrorist
Network of Osama bin Laden
 On September 11,
2001 Osama bin Laden orchestrated the
simultaneous highjacking of four planes
from within the borders of the United
States and ordered them to crash into
symbolic landmarks. For the American
people, it was an act of unprecedented
evil. For the terrorists who carried out
the atrocities, it was the first strike in
a holy war.
Holy War Inc. is the
Emmy-nominated companion documentary to
journalist Peter Bergen's acclaimed book of
the same title. Bergen is the first western
journalist to secure a television interview
with Osama bin Laden. In Holy War
Inc., Bergen and other terrorism
experts from Pakistan, Egypt, the US and
Europe, examine the cultural and religious
issues behind the conflict.
Holy War Inc. shows viewers that
like a giant hand, Al Qaeda spreads its
fingers throughout the world. Remote and
unconnected cultures in Afghanistan,
Albania, Chechnya and the Philippines, are
linked to New York, London, Paris and
Hamburg. With the help of investigators in
Germany, Russia and the US, Holy War
Inc. explains how cells of well trained
operatives function in these disparate
worlds, guided by the common thread that
unites them: the influence and inspiration
of Osama bin Laden.
Holy War Inc. was nominated for a
2001 News and Documentary Emmy. It also
received a 2003 Silver Omni Award.
