Paul McGeough reads from Kill Khalid
b"In September 1997, in Amman, Jordan, members from Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, attempted---and failed--to assassinate Khalid Missal, the new leader of Hamas. Their actions heightened tensions in an already unstable Middle East, and placed Jordan's King Hussein at the center of a high-stakes international negotiation, eventually involving direct intervention from President Bill Clinton. In this excerpt from his new book, Kill Khalid: The Failed Mossad Assassination of Khalid Mishal and the Rise of Hamas (March 24, The New Press/W.W. Norton), journalist Paul McGeough narrates the suspense-filled story of how Missal was spared--and Hamas emboldened."
