Tamer Elnoury

​Tamer ​Elnoury, a pseudonym for an undercover Muslim FBI agent, tells his story of investigating and breaking up a sleeper cell plotting attacks in Canada and the U.S. His story really makes one appreciate the skill, dedication, and work these undercover FBI agents, and what they do to prevent terrorist attacks. It can't be easy to put yourself out there, pretending to be something you're not, placing yourself and others around you in jeopardy.
