New ID Doc Spotlights Osama Bin Laden

SILVER SPRING: Coinciding with the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, Investigation Discovery is to air a new documentary, ID Investigates: Why is Bin Laden Alive?, which looks at how it is possible that no one has been able to capture or kill the al-Qaeda leader.

Hosted by CNN’s national security analyst, Peter Beren, ID Investigates: Why is Osma Bin Laden Alive? will spotlight the popular conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of the world’s most notorious villain. The doc also focuses on the continued threat from al-Qaeda. The controversial program is to air on September 12 at 10 p.m. on Investigation Discovery.

“Given the United States’ sophisticated surveillance technology and capabilities, ID will explore the reasons why international forces have not been able to capture a man who killed so many Americans, let alone one who remains an ongoing threat to our safety,” said Henry Schleiff, the president and general manager at Investigation Discovery. “ID is proud to partner with the world-class news unit at the BBC, and world-renowned journalist Peter Bergen, to offer viewers an in-depth examination into the theories surrounding his disappearance, and provide some possible answers—something we’re all looking for.”
