8-part podcast hosted by WNYC's Jim O'Grady and co-produced by HISTORY in partnership with WNYC Studios. "Blindspot: The Road to 9/11" will bring to light the decade-long shadow struggle that preceded the attacks. The podcast series will discuss the existential threat at stake in every turn, the human drama of political motives and personal ambitions, and the glaring mistakes and unfortunate blind spots that led to the modern world’s single most devastating act of political terrorism.</p> <p>Based on HISTORY’s television documentary "Road to 9/11," Blindspot will draw on interviews with more than 60 people – including FBI agents, high level bureaucrats, journalists, experts, and people who knew the terrorists personally – and weaves them together with original reporting to create a gripping, serialized narrative audio experience.</p> </div> </div> <section class="episodes"> <h2>Listen to Episodes</h2> <div class="podcast-episode"> <h3>Episode 8: The Ghost</h3> <div class="podcast-player"> <iframe width="100%" height="100px" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117if_/https://www.wnyc.org/widgets/ondemand_player/blindspot-road-911-podcast/#file=/audio/json/1057660/&share=1" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> <p>“The Ghost” is the nickname that Port Authority Detective Matthew Besheer and FBI Special Agent Frank Pellegrino give to the man they’ve been hunting for years but can’t quite catch: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed -- also known as KSM. He’s the uncle of Ramzi Yousef, and he picks up his plot to hijack planes and fly them into buildings. Without knowing his specific plans, Pellegrino and Besheer are acutely aware of the scope of KSM’s ambition, and the danger he presents to both military and civilian targets. But once again, a carefully considered plan to diffuse the threat goes awry and he melts into the ether. Soon he’ll take a meeting with Osama bin Laden and lay out the framework for what will become known as the attacks on 9/11/2001. In this final episode of the series, we trace the final steps to that fateful day.</p> <div class="links"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-ghost/id1529014757?i=1000495507320" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apple Podcasts</a> |  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://open.spotify.com/episode/3wQr2RBJJ3epN9MzQXpniy" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/blindspot-the-road-to-911/e/78746294" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stitcher</a> </div> </div> <div class="podcast-episode"> <h3>Episode 7: The Falcon Hunt</h3> <div class="podcast-player"> <iframe width="100%" height="100px" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117if_/https://www.wnyc.org/widgets/ondemand_player/blindspot-road-911-podcast/#file=/audio/json/1057494/&share=1" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> <p>It’s the late 1990s and the question tying policy makers at the highest levels of the U.S. government into knots: How should we respond to a relatively scattered group that is pulling off bloody attacks on our foreign installations and soldiers? In other words, how to deal with Al Qaeda? This is the group responsible for terror attacks such as the deadly bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. And its leader, Osama bin Laden, has promised more attacks. In this episode, we hear from officials at the center of the debate about what to do. We tell the story of a time when the CIA was sure it had bin Laden in their sights, but couldn’t get the go-ahead from the White House to pull the trigger. It’s a tale of bureaucratic hesitation and excruciating near misses … as the clock winds down toward the biggest attack of all.</p> <div class="links"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-falcon-hunt/id1529014757?i=1000494695553" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apple Podcasts</a> |  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://open.spotify.com/episode/5cq0rGnoe4WYyk9d1ggdez" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/blindspot-the-road-to-911/e/78377801" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stitcher</a> </div> </div> <div class="podcast-episode"> <h3>Episode 6: The Choice</h3> <div class="podcast-player"> <iframe width="100%" height="100px" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117if_/https://www.wnyc.org/widgets/ondemand_player/blindspot-road-911-podcast/#file=/audio/json/1057400/&share=1" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> <p>Osama bin Laden began his life as the son of a contractor made fabulously wealthy by the Saudi Arabian oil boom. From an early age, bin Laden shows himself to be different from his Western-leaning family. He forges a close relationship with the radical preacher Abdullah Azzam, who he joins as a mujahideen fighter in the Afghan War. Bin Laden will eventually be lionized by some in the Muslim world as the man who gave up the comforts of his upbringing to risk his life in battle -- and steered a share of his family wealth toward the cause. Once the invading Soviets leave Afghanistan in defeat, bin Laden decides to fight a holy war against the West. But how? His longtime mentor, Abdullah Azzam, advises caution. But a new advisor named Ayman al-Zawahiri pushes bin Laden to pursue a more far-reaching strategy. Bin Laden’s choice between the two men will determine the path of the newly formed Al Qaeda, and of worldwide militant jihad.</p> <div class="links"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-choice/id1529014757?i=1000493883540" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apple Podcasts</a> |  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://open.spotify.com/episode/4Z90DhyqEyTso45vQ9aVpY" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/blindspot-the-road-to-911/e/78377801" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stitcher</a> </div> </div> <div class="podcast-episode"> <h3>Episode 5: The Idea</h3> <div class="podcast-player"> <iframe width="100%" height="100px" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117if_/https://www.wnyc.org/widgets/ondemand_player/blindspot-road-911-podcast/#file=/audio/json/1056087/&share=1" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> <p>The World Trade Center was built with soaring expectations. Completed in 1973, its architect, Minoru Yamasaki, hoped the towers would stand as “a representation of man’s belief in humanity” and “world peace.” He even took inspiration from the Great Mosque in the holy city of Mecca with its tall minarets looking down on a sprawling plaza. What he did not expect was that the buildings would become a symbol to some of American imperialism and the strangling grip of global capitalism. Our story picks up in Manila -- January 6th, 1995 -- where police respond to an apartment fire and uncover a plot to assassinate the Pope. A suspect gives up his boss in the scheme: Ramzi Yousef, the mastermind of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Yousef has been on the run for two years and has disappeared again. Port Authority Detective Matthew Besheer and FBI Special Agent Frank Pellegrino fly to Manila to follow his trail. They learn that Yousef has a horrifying attack in the works involving bombs on a dozen airplanes, rigged to explode simultaneously. President Bill Clinton grounds all U.S. flights from the Pacific as the era of enhanced airline security begins. Yousef’s plot is foiled. But what it reveals about his intentions is chilling.</p> <div class="links"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-idea/id1529014757?i=1000493067551" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apple Podcasts</a> |  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ZbBwoRdDJIILZJs9yWscR" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/blindspot-the-road-to-911/e/78172969" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stitcher</a> </div> </div> <div class="podcast-episode"> <h3>Bonus Episode: The Double Life</h3> <div class="podcast-player"> <iframe width="100%" height="100px" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117if_/https://www.wnyc.org/widgets/ondemand_player/blindspot-road-911-podcast/#file=/audio/json/1055056/&share=1" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> <p>Emad Salem has been called one of the most successful undercover agents in the history of the FBI.

It is one of five targets in what will come to be known as The Landmarks Plot -- a plan to cause mass casualties by attacking not only tourist sites but heavily trafficked crossings such as the Holland Tunnel and George Washington Bridge. Salem convinces Siddig Ali and his accomplices to make their bombs in an abandoned Queens warehouse that has secretly been wired with FBI cameras and other recording devices. As the plans near completion, the plotters are arrested. They will eventually be convicted and sent to prison. Law enforcement now better understands that the threat of terror against America is ongoing and international … which makes it even more difficult to fight.</p> <div class="links"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sheikh/id1529014757?i=1000492217808" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apple Podcasts</a> |  <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://open.spotify.com/episode/1W8JGUUthK57oIsyLEuvNm" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spotify</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117/https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/blindspot-the-road-to-911/e/77949002" target="blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Stitcher</a> </div> </div> <div class="podcast-episode"> <h3>Episode 3: The Bomb</h3> <div class="podcast-player"> <iframe width="100%" height="100px" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20201201174117if_/https://www.wnyc.org/widgets/ondemand_player/blindspot-road-911-podcast/#file=/audio/json/1052829/&share=1" scrolling="no" frameborder="0"></iframe> </div> <p>NYPD Detective Louis Napoli and FBI Special Agent John Anticev fear an attack is coming, but without their mole, Emad Salem, they’re blind to the machinations of the Brooklyn terror cell.

We follow investigators as they chase down clues and round up suspects, including one who bungles his way directly into the hands of the FBI. (His fellow terrorist will later call him “the stupidest, the stupidest, the stupidest of God’s creatures.”) The mastermind, Ramzi Yousef, gets away. Yousef, the most dangerous terrorist in the world, is now hiding out overseas and planning even deadlier attacks.</p> <p>Back in New York, the FBI convinces Salem to rejoin the terror cell. He does, and becomes the personal assistant of Omar Abdel-Rahman (a.k.a. the Blind Sheikh). One of Salem’s jobs is to communicate by fax with a Saudi financier named Osama bin Laden.
