 Since Afghanistan, al Qaeda has reinvented itself as a high-tech, highly mobile, decentralized terror network-call it "al Qaeda version 2.0." Covering the period from 9/11 to the start of Gulf War II, this program tracks al Qaeda and its allies from London, where their Internet traffic is monitored, to recent operational areas, including Pakistan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, and Bangladesh. Footage of jihadist training, U.S. search-and-destroy missions, terror attacks, and the capture of Islamist militants puts viewers on the scene while key specialists such as the DoD's Chuck Spinney and Zachary Abuza, author of Militant Islam in Southeast Asia, share intelligence. Where will al Qaeda strike next? A Discovery Channel Production. (46 minutes)

 Al Ghezali reported that he had seen three passengers in a car all dead with their faces and teeth burnt, the body intact, and no sign of projectiles.

 During the war in Vietnam, thousands of people in the Vietnamese province of Cu Chi lived in an elaborate system of underground tunnels. Originally built in the time of the French colonial occupation, the tunnels were enlarged during the American presence. When Americans began bombing Cu Chi, the survivors went underground and based their operations against the Americans, often underneath American camps. Hidden beneath destroyed villages were hospitals where children were born and surgery was performed on casualties of war; underground were schools and public places where lovers met.

Yet few know the true and surprising history of this most infamous place, nor how it fitted into the Nazis' overall plan for the mass extermination of the Jews - what they called the 'Final Solution'. For Auschwitz, via its destructive dynamism, became both a microcosm of the Nazi State and the logical consequence of Hitler's warped worldview. Combining rare archive footage, CGI illustrations of the camp never before seen on television and dramatic reconstructions of the key decision-making moments, the story of Auschwitz and the horrific ideology behind it unfolds.
