Currently Playing: al-Qaeda's CIA Trap (Camp Chapman 2009)

Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi murdered nine people on December 30 2009 when he detonated his suicide vest inside a CIA compound in Afghanistan. Much of what we know about how this happened comes from Joby Warrick's extraordinary book, The Triple Agent. In this episode, David and Gordon sit down with Joby to discuss how he came to write the story of what came to pass on that fateful day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE REST IS CLASSIFIED LIVE 2026 at The Rest Is Fest: Buy your tickets ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to see David, Gordon and special guest Anthony Scaramucci live on stage at London’s Southbank Centre on 5 September: https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/whats-on/scaramucci-vs-the-rest-is-classified-team-america/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✅ Subscribe Here: https://www.youtube.com/@restisclassifiedsub_confirmation=1 🎙️ Listen To The Podcast: https://linktr.ee/triclassified -------------------------------------- 🗞️ Sign Up To The Free Newsletter Here: ⁠https://mailchi.mp/goalhanger.com/tric-free-newsletter-sign-up⁠ -------------------------------------- 📱 Follow Us On Socials: Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61567680193497 Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/restisclassified/?hl=en TikTok: / https://www.tiktok.com/@restisclassified Twitter: / https://x.com/triclassified -------------------------------------- 📩 Email: classified@goalhanger.com -------------------------------------- Assistant Producer: Alfie Rowe Social Producer: Emma Jackson Producer: Becki Hills Senior Producer: Dom Johnson Exec Producer: Tony Pastor
