Abdel Bari Atwan, The Editor-in-Chief of Arabic newspaper Alquds Alarabi, is an expert on al-Qaeda. He became one of the very few Western journalists to interview Osama bin Laden, when he met the elusive figure in Tora Bora caves in Afghanistan in 1996. He went on to write The Secret History of al-Qaeda, an authoritative account of the terror organisation and its methods.
