Rise Above with Kevin Lanning

I Was Childhood Friends With the 20th 9/11 Hijacker – The FBI Came for Me, Then I Became a Spy


Listen Later

What happens when the FBI believes you’re involved in one of the worst attacks in history? After 9/11, Khalid’s life took a shocking turn when he was interrogated and followed by federal agents—all because hijacker #20 was a member of his mosque and a childhood friend.


Brutal interrogations, relentless surveillance, and a world flipped upside down—Khalid’s story didn’t end there. Instead, he made an unbelievable pivot: from being accused to becoming a spy for the U.S. government.


In this episode of Rise Above, Khalid reveals the truth behind his terrifying FBI encounters, the shocking moment he realized his friend was a terrorist, and his transformation into a covert intelligence asset.
