Web
surfers can follow veteran FRONTLINE producer Martin Smith and his production
team’s journey through email dispatches and photos posted on the FRONTLINE
Web site “In
Search of Al Qaeda” . Working on a FRONTLINE documentary scheduled
to air on PBS in November, the FRONTLINE investigative team set out two
weeks ago on a two-month trip that will take them from the United States
to London, the Persian Gulf, across Afghanistan and Pakistan, and points
beyond in search of Al Qaeda operatives. Along the way, the team
will continue to send regular email dispatches and photos that capture
both the intriguing and the mundane aspects of investigative reporting—from
interviewing Muslim sheiks in London to accompanying Canadian sailors as
they search a rat-infested Chinese fishing trawler for stowaway terrorists.
One dispatch details Smith encounter with a former spy for India’s foreign intelligence. “He is a firehose of information. But as interesting as it is, I interrupt often and ask him how he knows what he says he knows. ‘What is your source for that?’ He is sometimes evasive in a way that doesn't seem so. He also admits it when he is just guessing, which I find refreshing. As the interview goes on I conclude, rightly or wrongly, that much of what he knows comes from sources inside or around various madrassas (religious schools) operating throughout Pakistan. He even repeats a sighting he reported in one of his articles that bin Laden is hiding out at the Binori Madrassa in Karachi. He says his source for this bit of information is credible. Others have mentioned this madrassa to us already. I think this is a door we should knock on, though I wonder how I’ll feel when I get there.” Regular dispatches
“In Search of
Al Qaeda” from Smith and Gaviria will continue to post on the FRONTLINE
web site throughout the filming. When the documentary is completed
the site will include the latest information and broadcast times.
