Spy leaves egg on U.S. faces
 Book says Mohamed engaged in terrorism for two decadesThose who want a chilling account of a killer who slipped through the hands of a daft justice system shouldn't bother to read the tripe now being peddled by O.J. Simpson. As a murderer, his record of terror just can't compare with Ali Mohamed. How the al-Qaida superspy manipulated FBI intelligence watchdogs, as well as one of America's most respected U.S. attorneys, is a chilling bedtime story. Those few people who still believe the West has been told all there is to know about intelligence bungling that led up to 9/11 -- a recent poll found 80% of Americans think their administration is not being fully truthful -- should trace the blood-timeline of Ali Mohamed with utter alarm. Which is what Peter Lance (peterlance.com) -- an Emmy-award winning investigator -- has done in his book, Triple Cross. The 600-plus-page opus -- released by Regan publishing next week but given an exclusive Canadian advance here -- is a detailed account of how Mohamed worked worry-free under the gaze of U.S. watchdogs. In the al-Qaida camps, he was known as Abu Mohamed al Amriki -- "Father Mohamed the American." And, until he was finally arrested and convicted in 2000 -- after two decades of high profile terrorism, including helping to plan attacks on American troops in Somalia and U.S. embassies in Africa -- Ali Mohamed roamed free and even protected.
