Moroccan by birth and raised in Belgium, he describes working as an informant for European intelligence services.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book follows his recruitment by France's foreign intelligence service, the DGSE, and the assignment that followed: to infiltrate Al Qaeda's training camps in Pakistan and Afghanistan. It offers an insider's view of jihadist networks in Western Europe and of daily life in the camps, and presents the author as abandoned by the Western intelligence services he served.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work was first issued in London by C. Hurst \u0026amp; Co. in 2006, with an introduction by Gordon Corera, the BBC's security correspondent. The back cover carries praise from a former CIA official and a journalist. As with many accounts of this kind, the author's claims are not independently verified, and the book is best read as a first-person testimony of the early years of global jihadism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Omar Nasiri\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmar Nasiri is a pseudonym, used to protect the author's identity.
