Covert takes listeners on a heart-pounding journey through the most dangerous military operations of all time. From the assassination of Osama Bin Laden and how two Israeli snipers foiled Syria’s plan to develop a nuclear bomb, to the real story that inspired the movie Black Hawk Down and the harrowing tale of a British Major’s escape from 2,000 heavily armed militants, you'll be brought to the front line of history’s greatest special forces missions.

Covert

Launching May 29th is Covert, a brand-new podcast delving into the shadows to reveal the murky world of international espionage and top secret military operations from around the world.

S1 Ep1: Introducing Covert

In this first episode we’ll trace the origins of Osama Bin Laden and the people who were tasked to find him. Who was this man? When did he first get the CIA's attention? And what led up to his masterminding of 9/11?

S1 Ep1: Killing Bin Laden, Part 1

On February 26, 1993 Osama Bin Laden had gotten the attention of the United States when he funded an attempted attack on the World Trade Center. The attack later revealed a more intricate network of supposed terrorist training camps, and the terrorist organization known as al Qaeda, or “The Base." In late summer, 2001, he became America’s number one enemy.

In part 2, host Jamie Rennell discusses the impact of 9/11 on the CIA, how intelligence services tracked down the most elusive criminal on the planet, and explores why it took so long.

In this conclusion of the mission to stop Osama Bin Laden, we go inside Operation Neptune's Spear, where Seal Team Six flew undetected into Pakistan to go after who they believe is the elusive terrorist. What really happened inside the mystery compound? And what led to the decision to bring in a unit when chances of success were only 50/50?

Mossad, the Israeli intelligence unit, was alarmed when a train exploded in North Korea – one that was carrying nuclear supplies to Syria.

A cafe held hostage. Gunfire in a public marketplace. Mumbai, the richest and most populated city in India is under constant attack from unknown and extremely well-coordinated terrorists. And the Indian National Guard, the Black Cats, are just waiting to be deployed.

And why did it take so long to respond?
