SPECIAL AGENTS DIVE DEEP INTO THE RISE OF AL QAEDA AFTER THE 1998 BOMBINGS OF TWO U.S. EMBASSIES IN AFRICA RESULT IN 224 DEAD AND THOUSANDS INJURED, ON "FBI TRUE," TUESDAY, DEC. 19

"Dress Rehearsal: The Rise of Al Qaeda" - After two U.S. embassies in Africa were bombed in 1998, leaving 224 dead and thousands injured, three FBI agents suspect an injured bystander may be one of the terrorists behind the bombing. The discovery of a bomb factory linked to the attacks leads them to not only expose the extensive influence of the terrorist organization known as Al Qaeda, but also reveals their first major assault on the West. Those agents, John Anticev (a retired member of New York's Joint Terrorism Task Force who helped thwart attacks on the Holland Tunnel and the United Nations, who was also involved with major investigations around the world over the course of his 28 years with the FBI), Abigail Perkins (a lawyer before joining the FBI in 1995, who put her legal training to use in a broad range of Bureau investigations into terrorist acts, from the African embassy bombings to the attacks on 9/11) and Stephen Gaudin (a retired Special Agent on the Joint Terrorism Task Force who participated in investigations in the Middle East and Africa, and was directly involved with the hunt and capture of several al-Qaeda operatives) sit down with FBI veteran Special Agent Kristy Kottis, on a new episode of FBI TRUE, Tuesday, Dec. 19 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.

DESCRIPTION:
(from CBS's web site, October 2024) We’ve seen the wildly successful movies and shows, but what are the real FBI agents thinking when they come face to face with the unimaginable? Can they save a hostage, apprehend a killer, and thwart a terrorist? And who do agents confide in after the dust settles? They unravel their stories to each other -- the way real FBI agents talk to one another, with elbows on the bar with the grit left in. From Craig Turk, co-creator of the CBS drama FBI, and former FBI agent turned producer Anne Beagan. Each episode has agents meeting up at a legendary watering hole — just down the street from the FBI’s New York headquarters. This is where they’ve celebrated their triumphs and told “the real stories behind the stories” for a generation. Some of these agents, including former undercover operatives and members of the Bureau's highly specialized Hostage Rescue Team, are telling their tales for the first time. The dangerous missions carried out by the FBI agents nearly every day, here at home and around the world. Throughout the series, FBI TRUE gives viewers a look at never-before-seen investigative material like undercover surveillance video, recorded interrogations with hostage takers and terrorists, and personal photos from the agents themselves. Sometimes these cases will be infamous. Sometimes they’ll be unknown. But in every instance, you’ll be hearing the story from the agent who lived and breathed every detail. Cases profiled on the series include the Boston Marathon bombing on it’s 10th Anniversary, the Golden State Killer, the siege at Waco, Texas on its 30th Anniversary, the Oklahoma City Bombing, the D.C. sniper attacks, the San Bernardino Mass shooting, the Benghazi terrorist attack, the 2016 NYC Chelsea bombing and many, many more. Even if you think you know the case - you’ve never heard the stories by the agents on the ground.
