I am reading Lawrence Wright's book The Looming Tower (again!) because it is so relevant to the terrorist threat聽the world is facing today.聽This book聽details the聽record of the formation and financing of Al Qaeda by Osama bin Laden.聽It is a聽well researched聽book which聽takes you through the early聽formation聽of The Muslim Brotherhood. It also聽explains how bin Laden's father acquired聽the family's聽enormous fortune聽and how his son,聽Osama bin Laden, used some of聽it to finance and organize Al Qaeda. The聽author聽brings everything together by following the steps of the terrorists who聽made their way to the United States, lived quietly in American neighborhoods, and took flying lessons so they could聽fly airplanes into the World Trade聽Center buildings, the Pentagon, and other unknown聽attempted targets with the goal of killing as many innocent people聽as they could. It seems to me that this book should be a must-read for those聽reporters who are聽brave enough to get out there and report world news.
