This is Peter.

I'm Peter Bergen.

Peter is an author and journalist, best known as a national security analyst on CNN.

In March of 1997, Peter sat down for an interview with a man who would forever alter the course

of American history.

He appeared out of the darkness and sat down to the interview and basically declared

war on the United States.

Peter had his suspicions that Osama Bin Laden had planned the 1993 bombing of the World

By September 11th of 2001, Bin Laden's involvement was no longer in question.

Oh, my God, another plane has just hit another building.

Osama Bin Laden and other terrorists are still in hiding.

Our message to them is clear.

No matter how long it takes, America will find you.
