About Intrigue
Twenty-five years on from the deadliest terror attack in history, BBC investigative journalist Jane McMullen asks why thousands of grieving families are still fighting for answers. In early 2000, two young Saudis arrived in San Diego. They had never been to America, spoke almost no English, and had no idea how to open a bank account or rent a flat. Within weeks they had done all of it. Twenty months later they hijacked a plane and crashed it into the Pentagon. McMullen investigates the hidden story of a man who helped two of the hijackers - and reveals a story that the US and Saudi governments have fought to keep secret.

[…] Today marks yet another year without Austin Tice, an American journalist and veteran U.S. Marine who has been missing in Syria for over a decade. He's followed by Donald Trump's former national security advisor. Austin was the type of man that every dad wants their son to grow up to be like, a US Marine, a photojournalist in combat zones, a Georgetown law student, a great son and a terrific brother. And then his mother Deborah is introduced. She has this long striking silver hair and warm gentle smile. She's petite and quietly spoken but exudes a strength that comes from years of refusing to give up on her son. […]
