THE ROADS TO TERROR 1979-2001 (THE TERROR ROUTES) EP2 1994 - 2001: THE COUNTDOWN

The second chapter in this investigation into the factors that led to the 9/11 attacks, with a reconstruction of the pursuit of Al Qaeda between 1993 and 2001.

This second part is dedicated to the race against the clock that began following the first attack on the Twin Towers in 1993. The film goes back over a major mystery of 9/11. More than a year before the attacks, the CIA was monitoring two of the hijackers, as they prepared to enter the US. And yet, the CIA did all they could to stop the FBI finding out.

This documentary pieces together the puzzle of the pursuit of Al Qaeda, highlighting the missed opportunities that spiraled inexorably into the events of the morning of 11 September 2001.
