Fred Burton: From Cop to Terrorist Hunter

Was a brutal murder of an Israeli officer in the suburbs of Maryland a random act of violence or a

strategic assassination carried out by terrorists operating on American soil?

Can counterterrorism techniques be effective in combating the spread of gang violence in U.S. cities?

Can future violence be disrupted by actionable intelligence?

Fred Burton, author and terrorism expert, talks with B.C. and Ski about his role using an informant to

help capture Ramzi Yousef (World Trade Center bombing), his cases abroad working some of America’s

largest terrorist investigations, and his time spent solving a 50-year-old cold case. Listen in as the

discussion also covers the role of human intelligence abroad and right here in the U.S. with gang work.
