| MUMBAI:
NBC News rolls out The Wanted, a television event which is on an international
hunt for an accused terrorist. The show is scheduled for a 10 pm slot.
The Wanted includes
Roger Carstens, one of the preeminent authorities on counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency,
former Navy Seal, Scott Tyler, former US intelligence official and first American
Chief Prosecutor of an international war crimes tribunal, David Crane and investigative
journalist Adam Ciralsky. "We
hope this programme sheds light on an overlooked story. It is surprising how many
people with serious accusations against them are living openly and avoiding any
sort of judicial process," says NBC News executive producer David Corvo. "We're
excited about our groundbreaking new TV project The Wanted on NBC and know
that viewers will be intrigued by the show. It's like nothing you've ever seen
on TV earlier. The pairing of rigorous investigative journalism with high-end
production values has resulted in a fast-paced show which we hope will leave viewers
wanting more," says executive producers and co-creators Charlie Ebersol and
Adam Ciralsky. The
20 July episode follows Mullah Krekar, called Bin Laden 2.0, the founder and leader
of Ansar Al Islam. In The Wanted, viewers will be taken inside intelligence
briefings in the Middle East and surveillance operations in Krekar's community
in Oslo. |
