well, she wasn t according to my judgment of her, she was a ticking time bomb running around europe. and she was already convinced about what she wanted to do. and if we can use her to get close to anwar awlaki and to hit him, well, that s the way it goes. awlaki s encrypted e-mail to storm dictates she bring one carry-on bag, one medium suitcase. storm says he picks a gray samsonite, passes the measurements to the cia, which hides the tracking device in the handle. as she arrives at the vienna airport for her flight, the attractive blond has no idea what she is carrying. aminah is getting on her plane for yemen. storm is hundreds of miles away in denmark. the honey trap plot with the blond is finally in play.
hanging over the operation questions. what happens if the european blond dies? collateral damage. aminah makes it to yemen. storm recalls receiving a text message from one of his danish handlers. saying, congratulations, brother. you just became rich, very rich. soon, he is in yet another meeting with intelligence agents. one from the cia is anxious for storm to open the briefcase they brought with them. and he looked at me with a massive smile on his face. what do you think the code is? i think i have no clue. i didn t even think that there was three numbers on each, you know, side. come on, come on, he said. come on, think about it. i said, i don t know. i have no clue. he said, try 007. he told me like this. james bond. james bond.
chooses to work with the cia. which supports his plan to locate and assassinate awlaki by using an unsuspecting woman as bait. unbelievably, awlaki has asked storm to play matchmaker and find him a european blond to be his third wife. storm s search leads him to irenah from croatia, a recent convert to islam who now calls herself aminah. they chat on facebook. european blond, exactly what anwar wanted, and she asked me for anwar awlaki, could help who are to get married. the encrypted e-mails to storm shows he s hooked. so far i m interested. please update me on the sister situation. if you could try to speed up
says. you do really know him. i hope you are well. then storm has her record a video for awlaki in return. it s me, aminah, and i just want to tell you that right now i feel nervous and this is very awkward for me. awlaki wants a blond european wife. the plan has to work. storm convinces her to break muslim taboo and take off her head scarf. this is me without the head scarf so you can see my hair. coming up james bond. 007. clink, clink, clink. it opened up. agent storm s biggest payday yet but all does not go as planned. the americans refused to speak to me for six months.
and like-minded people in europe and anywhere in the world would like to see me dead. the american british and danish spy agencies all decline cnn s request for comment on mortem storm. to date storm s story and his value to those agencies has never been publicly contradicted. my agenda was to save people s life. and now i ve done so. so i was a bad spy able of creating good results. multiple identities, shifting loyalties, a life of extremes. from radical islam to top level
