In his years as an FBI agent specializing in counterterrorism, Soufan interrogated numerous al-Qaeda operatives and waylaid numerous plots worldwide. He even requested a report months before September 11, 2001, that could have helped avert the attacks but received it too late. Here he explains how terrorists think and how they can be stopped. For a true insider's view.
