GRP 143-Mosul: A film by a CIA counter-terrorism officer

\n

Joining me for this week\u2019s podcast is former CIA counterterrorism officer Dan Gabriel. He served at the Agency for a decade until the killing of Osama Bin Laden when he decided it was time to pursue another passion of his: Film making. The film \u201cMosul\u201d is entirely in Arabic. Written and directed by Gabriel, it shows the journey of a journalist from Bagdad as he documents the retaking of Mosul from ISIS.

\n

Ali Mula embeds with the Iraqi Special Forces as they fight ISIS house to house, and street by street. The film highlights charismatic leaders of different militia that have come together to fight ISIS. It\u2019s fascinating. We discussed the film, Dan\u2019s career, terrorism, and counter-terrorism as it relates to the middle east and Islam. Enjoy.
