CIA Confidential - Season 1

Just days after the horrific attacks of 9/11, a team of seven CIA agents snuck into northern Afghanistan and began to lay the groundwork for war. Dubbed operation "Jawbreaker," their goal was to take out al Qaeda, find Osama bin Laden and kill him. Now, National Geographic tells the story of this dangerous covert mission from the point of view of the CIA officers and top-secret Delta Force operators involved.

National Geographic goes inside one of the most perilous battlegrounds of the new war: Pakistan. Join a 14-point strike to capture alleged al Qaeda logistician Abu Zubaydah and follow the CIA's multi-national effort to capture alleged al Qaeda terror-broker Rashid Rauf before he can unleash a massive attack on US airliners.

A team of top CIA counter-terror operatives meet an Arab informant at a closed US military base in Afghanistan. But the double agent detonates a hidden suicide vest, killing seven of the CIA's most effective officers—his vengeance against the CIA for the death of Pakistan's top Taliban leader. 

An anonymous foreign agent taps out a text message to his handler in the CIA: "I am with K.S.M." An 8-year long manhunt for one of the most dangerous and elusive Islamic terrorists is about to come to a climax. The mastermind of the September 11 attack, KSM—Khalid Sheik Mohammed, is about to be captured...or lost.
