Documentary Description
Panorama's distinguished correspondent Jane Corbin makes the
hazardous journey to the frontline in the War on Terror, the remote and
forbidding mountains along the Pakistan-Afghan border.
It is here where some of Britain's 7/7 bombers were trained, where
Britain's top terror suspect Rashid Rauf was apparently recently
assassinated, and where Osama bin Laden may still be hiding.
She meets those fighting on all sides, from US and Pakistani
soldiers to would-be suicide bombers, and investigates how diehard
elements of al-Qaeda and Taliban are using their base in these
so-called tribal areas to destabilise the region and push Pakistan, the
only Islamic state with a nuclear bomb, into civil war.
