storm scrawls mission notes yemen.zing plans getting her to vienna, meet mcdonald s 10:00 a.m. she needs a cover story to get a visa at the embassy. buy the plane ticket and secret e-mail accounts to keep in touch. $3,000 cash sanctioned by the cia. if she gets to yemen, the cia promises storm $250,000. he knows it could cost the blond her life. how do you reconcile that? she s an innocent. well, she wasn t according to my judgment of her. she was a ticking time bomb running all 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.
on the other side he s now part of the militant circle. reporter: between being an agent for western intelligence and a sworn member of al qaeda, storm says he was a double agent so trusted by al qaeda terror leaders he even fixed one up with a blond european wife. a unique powerful weapon on the war on terror who says he got results. i have been responsible of 30 kills. reporter: 30 terrorists killed. in a race against time, trying to bring down the most dangerous terrorists before they can launch their next attack. double agent inside al qaeda for the cia. driving deep in yemen s lawless south, morten storm is at the wheel on a spy mission for the cia. he s hoping this video may help
and those who are wrong, storm believes, are the enemy. all he can think about is training for jihad. storm is white and european. traits that might help a terrorist living in the west avoid detection. he says he soon catches the eye of al qaeda s leader. i was invited by osama bin laden to join up with him in the training camps in afghanistan. storm won t make it to afghanistan, but he names his son osama in honor of bin laden. he was a person who dared to challenge the america. next time najib sees him in denmark, storm is a different man. the things that he was saying were so extreme that some of the imams, they couldn t cope with it, the stuff he was saying. so he was hanging out on the streets and preaching a lot. preaching what? he was preaching actually jihad. that s him, smiling, in 2005.
if his plan works. you get a quarter of a million dollars from the cia when aminah crosses into yemen? that s correct. after seven weeks, storm sent back to vienna for another meeting with aminah. the next step in the match making. he shows her this video from awlaki. this recording is done specifically for sister aminah. the brother who s carrying this recording is a trustworthy brother. what s her reaction when she s watching that video? she s full of joy and tears. you do really know him, she says. you do really know him. i hope you are well. then storm has her record a video for awlaki in return. my brother, 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 atmosphere is electric, but 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.
