Al Qaeda-related terrorists are coming to the U.S. over the Mexican border disguised as Mexicans, Congressman John Culberson (R-TX) has disclosed. The terrorists are adopting Hispanic names and blending in with the hundreds or thousands of illegal aliens who enter the U.S. via Mexico each day.

Al Qaeda's camps in Afghanistan have been dismantled after their allies, the Taliban, were overthrown by the U.S.-led war in October 2001, and their leadership has been forced to seek refuge in the tribal areas of Pakistan. Many of their top operatives have been arrested in the past four years.

Based in part on the upcoming book Triple Cross, by Peter Lance, Ali Mohamed's path of betrayals mirrors the growth of al Qaeda into a worldwide terrorist organization. The special connects the dots using expert insight from FBI, military and Justice Department officials, defense attorneys and journalists on the front lines, who together help reveal how one man exploited the pre-9/11 bureaucratic gaps in the U.S. intelligence community. And in one rare videotape, viewers will hear from Mohamed firsthand as he fields questions from American officers and defends his worldview of radical Islam.

The story of the "Anbar Awakening" — the uniting of the province's Sunni Arab tribes against Al Qaeda — is relatively well known. In mid-2006, a Marine intelligence officer in Al Anbar declared the situation hopeless and the province irretrievably lost. The Iraqi government was unable to recruit Anbaris into the local or national police or into the Iraqi army. But later that year, a combination of Al Qaeda atrocities and skillful counterinsurgency techniques by U.S. forces convinced Sunni tribal leaders that enough was enough.
