Nineteen-year-old Hassam Smati lived a quiet life working at a Texas rest stop, but behind the cash register, he was plotting a massacre that would change the American landscape forever. This documentary follows the elite agents of the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force as they track a digital trail of radicalization from small-town Italy, Texas, to the heart of downtown Dallas. When Smati reaches out to extremist forums seeking the tools for jihad, he believes he has found a mentor in a high-ranking al-Qaeda operative. In reality, he is walking straight into one of the most sophisticated undercover stings in law enforcement history. 💬 After a nine-month undercover sting, the FBI neutralized nineteen-year-old Hassam Smati as he attempted to detonate what he believed was a massive truck bomb beneath a 60-story Dallas skyscraper to fulfill his pledge of allegiance to al-Qaeda.
