Manhuntibooks, 2002 - 301 sidor The incredible pursuit of a CIA agent turned terrorist by New York Times best-selling author Peter Maas. Edwin P.

In addition, Wilson was also raking in millions in the service of the godfather of world-wide terrorism - Libya's Colonel Muamar el-Qaddafi. Wilson seemed above the law.
