Here is the story of an anonymous counterterrorism expert, a young woman, who, in disguise, has penetrated front groups of anti~American terrorist organizations operating in this country. In this edge~of~the~seat memoir, she chronicles her escape from Iraq via Iran to Israel, following a great tragedy that befell her family at the hands of Saddam Hussein. She also details how she became involved in intelligence gathering for the United States, her adoptive country, while working for an antiterrorism group. With her unique insights into how terrorist groups veil their true operations by various means, she was able to infiltrate and identify dangerous terrorist organizations and entities working undetected in the United States. Terrorist Hunter provides fascinating and shocking information on how federal agencies, chiefly the FBI and the State Department, repeatedly ignored or mishandled important information she provided. She reveals her role in exposing terrorist supporters who the White House considered to be friends, in preventing the government from funding terrorist activities, and in the deportation of terrorists and their supporters. She also reveals how she discovered a billion~dollar scheme that rich Saudi Arabians set up to filter money to al~Qaeda and other terrorist groups, through charities and businesses in the United States~information that the FBI sat on for years, until after 9~11. ANONYMOUS is a young Iraqi~born woman who escaped to Israel from Iraq and eventually moved to the United States, where she became a counter~terrorism expert. Equipped with an in~depth knowledge of Arabic and a deep understanding of the Muslim culture, she soon became the nation's leading expert on Islamic terrorism. Because much of her work is done undercover and she has penetrated numerous gatherings of Muslim radicals, her existence has been kept a secret until now. Through her work she has helped government agencies to collaborate with one another. Her investigations have resulted in the deportation of terrorists who lived and prospered in the United States and prevented the U.S. government from unwittingly funding front groups of terror. Her undercover work on money~laundering practices of terrorist groups made possible one of the largest counter~terrorism operations ever conducted by the U.S. government. She currently serves as a consultant for several government agencies and is the mother of four children.
