S1 Ep3: Terrorist Turned Spy: How I Went From Al-Qaeda Bomb Maker To British Spy
05 Oct 2022
In this episode, we sit down with Aimen Dean - a former terrorist turned British spy. Aimen joined Al-Qaeda in the late 90s but soon had a change of heart. We hear how he was recruited by the British intelligence services and sent back to Afghanistan to spy on the world's most dangerous terrorist organisation, through 9/11 and the London bombings, before he was eventually exposed. Extraordinary Lives is a podcast from the team behind LADbible’s Minutes With. You can watch all of our videos here - https://www.youtube.com/c/LADbible/videos We speak to remarkable people who each have a unique story to tell - spies, terrorists, hackers, gangsters, killers, people with particular conditions, and those who’ve lived unreal experiences. These are the stories that resonated the most with LADbible’s audience when they were originally told on Minutes With. In this podcast, LADbible’s Ben Powell-Jones sits down with those individuals for a more in-depth conversation, revealing untold tales for the first time.
