New Apple Podcast OPERATION: TRADEBOM Will Investigate and Report on the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing

Apple is coming out with a new podcast titled Operation: Tradebomwhich will investigate and report on the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The podcast is directed by Marc Smerling, producer of Capturing the Friedmans and The Jinx.. The series will follow the events leading up to and following the then largest improvised explosive device detonated on American soil: the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. It will also depict a history of modern terrorism, beginning in Cairo in 1981 and ending in United States on September 11, 2001.

“The 1993 World Trade Center bombing killed six and injured thousands, leaving behind a 100-foot crater five stories deep. Investigators from New York City’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, a ragtag team of FBI agents and NYPD detectives, found themselves conducting a new kind of international investigation called Operation Tradebom. The podcast breaks down the investigation, examining how overseas religious and political tensions reached the United States and how the worldwide hunt for the bomber unfolded, slowly hinting at bigger players and threats that would ultimately reshape the world.

Former members of New York City’s Joint Terrorism Task Force – FBI Agent John Anticev and NYPD Detective Louis Napoli are featured in the nine-part series, which launches January 9 with weekly episodes. The finale will air Feb. 27, one day after the 30th anniversary of the bombing.
