The Man Who KnewFor six years, John O’Neil was the FBI’s leading expert on Al Qaeda. He warned of its reach. He warned of its threat to the U.S. But to the people at FBI headquarters, O’Neill was too much of a maverick, and they stopped listening to him. He left the FBI in the summer of 2001 and took a new job as head of security at the World Trade Center. Watch FRONTLINE’s “The Man Who Knew” and read more about the program, including updates since the program first aired in 2002.
