What leads a person to turn to terrorism as a means of loudly and
murderously expressing a belief? In Laura Poitras’ new documentary, THE
OATH, we learn how Abu Jandal came to believe that al-Qaeda and its
commitment to terrorism provided the “one true path” in the Islamist
war on “the infidel.” Intelligent, philosophical, and religious, Jandal
went to Afghanistan in 1996. As a fellow Saudi citizen of Yemeni
descent, Jandal soon became Osama bin Laden’s personal bodyguard,
keeper of the two bullets that would insure bin Laden would never be
taken alive. Jandal was so happy with his job and so convinced of his
beliefs that he persuaded his brother-in-law, Salim Hamdan, to come to
Afghanistan to work as bin Laden’s driver. The two would thus spend
much time with the al-Qaeda leader.
