According to his new book, Inside the Jihad: My Life With Al Qaeda, A Spy's Story, the Moroccan-born author (who uses Nasiri as a pseudonym) says he spent nearly seven years leading a dangerous double life as an informer for European intelligence services on the activities of his brothers-in-jihad, including vivid detail of combat and explosives training...
