Writer Peter Bergen and Kim Phuc on this edition of Fresh Air. Peter Bergen's a former correspondent/producer and current terrorism consultant for CNN, and the author of the book Holy War Inc.: Inside the Secret World of Osama bin Laden. It's both a biography of Bin Laden and an explanation of bin Laden's global network. While at CNN, Bergen produced bin Laden's first TV interview, filmed at his mountain hideout in Afghanistan. Bergen has written about Islamist militant groups for The New Republic, London's Daily Telegraph, and The Washington Times. Kim Phuc is the subject of the Vietnam War's most famous photo: a 9-year-old girl running naked and screaming down a street. She has just been hit by napalm. Kim Phuc now lives in Canada with her husband and children. The 1999 book The Girl in the Picture, by Denise Chong, tells Phuc's story. (Broadcast Date: November 14, 2001)
