Zero Dark Thirty Page #6

He says it looks like Abu Ahmed.

Who did he work for?

He was mostly with Abu Faraj.

They were always together.

What did he do for Faraj?

He carried messages from

Abu Faraj to bin Laden,

from bin Laden back to Abu Faraj.

We need to ask him something to

see if he's telling the truth.

We don't know if he really knew Faraj.

He just told me the names of

all of Abu Faraj's children.

I think he's telling the truth.

Twenty detainees recognized

that photo of Abu Ahmed.

They say he's part of an inner circle...

of guys that was hanging

out in Afghanistan pre-9/11.

A lot of them say that after

When KSM was captured, he

went to work for Abu Faraj.

Primarily as a courier,

from Faraj to bin Laden.

That's good, but you still don't have...

Yeah, but we don't know if Abu's

on the outside of the network.

A series of cut-outs and dead drops,

or if he has a direct

connection to bin Laden.

I mean, does bin Laden invite

him into the living room,

and hand him a letter directly,

or is Abu just the last guy...

in a long line of couriers, and

that's why everybody knows him.

That's not all you don't know.

You don't have his real name.

- You don't have a clue of where he is.

- Yes, but we know that he's important.

The fact that everybody's

heard of Abu Ahmed,

but nobody will tell me

where he is, suggests that.

Maybe.

Detainees can withhold his

location for any number of reasons.

Perhaps they don't know.

Perhaps this "Abu" is actually a cover

story and he's really a f***ing unicorn.

But the withholding doesn't reveal

what you want it to, does it?

No.

And if you did find him, you don't

know that he'd be with bin Laden.

We don't know what we don't know.

What the f*** is that supposed to mean?

It's tautology.

Listen, not one single detainee has said

that he's been located with the big guy.

Just that he delivers

messages, am I wrong?

No.

It's still good work. Let me know when

you've got some actual intelligence.

Preferably, something

that leads to a strike.

This is what remains of the No. 10 bus,

which was travelling through

Tavistock Square, near Euston station.

There'd been explosions near Liverpool

Street and Edgware Road stations too.

Dozens of the survivors

were critically injured,

but many of the wounded were

also keen to share their stories.

We just pulled out of Edgware Road,

and next thing I know, is a

loud, um, large flash of light.

Uh, I felt a burning sensation on my

hands, put my hands up to my face...

Uh, I was on the floor by that point...

Yeah, I can't recall anything prior

to that anymore. Any noise, any bang...

Normal life in one of the busiest parts

of the capital has now been suspended.
