Steven Emerson to Appear in National Geographic Channel's "Inside 9/11" Special, August 21 & 22 (updated 8/20 with video segment)

By Andrew Cochran

Steven Emerson will be appearing in the National Geographic Channel's "Inside 9/11," a four-hour mini-series event airing over two nights, on Sunday, August 21, and Monday, August 22, at 9 pm ET. National Geographic Channel describes the series as follows:

Inside 9/11 spans decades and circles the globe to lay bare the roots of al Qaeda, beginning with the 1978 Soviet-Afghan War and the transformation of Osama bin Laden from fundraiser to terrorist mastermind. Viewers will delve into the inner workings of al Qaeda and come to know the architects of the plot as they plan and execute the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania and the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole.

The mini-series follows the footsteps of the terrorists as they formulated their plans, infiltrated our country and executed their suicide missions. Tracing the timeline that led up to the deadly attacks, it deconstructs the events of that fateful day, tracking the movements of all four terrorist teams and patching together the ad hoc response of government. It draws from a wide range of sources, including newly declassified documents from the 9/11 Commission investigation; over 60 original interviews with experts, whistleblowers, investigators and survivors - some speaking out for the first time; eyewitness materials including footage culled from a rarely seen 400-hour archive; and chilling audio recordings from on board the doomed planes and inside air traffic control.
