Synopsis

Nine Lives: My time as the MI6's top spy inside al-Qaeda by Aimen Dean: Conversation Starters

He is first drawn into religious studies group as a teenager in Saudi Arabia. He soon becomes a member of al-Qaeda and is interviewed by the leader himself, Osama bin Laden himself. In Darunta, he joins the efforts to manufacture of biological and chemical weapons. He meets other top-ranking Islamic militants including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the planner behind the 9/11 attacks, and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, who later founds the Iraqi version of the al-Qaeda. Dean goes to Chechnya, the Philippines, Europe, Afghanistan, and the Gulf, where he reveals details of his frontline battles in all these places. But he increasingly feels alienated by the group's lack of remorse and bloodthirsty ways as civilian deaths are incurred. In 1999, he went to Qatar in the pretext of a medical concern. The Qatar government brought him in for questioning and he took the chance to change sides. Aimen Dean started spying for the MI6.

Nine Lives is cited by The Wall Street Journal as "a major contribution to the literature of espionage, and a rare book to say something original about contemporary jihadism."
