Best of 2025: INVESTIGATION: The 9/11 suspect - part 2

In the week between Christmas and New Year, we’re listening back to some of our favourite episodes of 2025, this episode was first published in September. On September 21, 2001, Omar al-Bayoumi was arrested in Birmingham on suspicion of the preparation, instigation or commission of acts of terrorism.
