American intelligence had advance knowledge of planned Al Qaeda terrorist attacks, including the Madrid Train bombing on 3/11/2004, and did nothing to stop them.

How do I know this?

Because I was a fellow prisoner and close friend of several high-ranking Al Qaeda operatives inside the high-security wing of Valdemoro Prison in Spain. This prison has a nickname.

They call it, "Terrorist University."

I was asked, and agreed, to participate in an intelligence gathering operation that produced this and other information. My nom de guerre from the French Foreign Legion was Jayden Roy Huck, and this is my story.

WHAT you will read in the following pages may bother you.

It is meant to tell the true account of a poorly run undercover operation that took place between October 2002 and June of 2003. I have kept the true names of the different individuals. However, when dealing with certain individuals who are still at-large, I chose to use only first names.

This is neither an indictment nor an accusation about U.S. governmental and foreign policies when dealing with international terrorism, yet it is critical when appropriate. As the writer, I do not claim to be able to create a literary work that will be appreciated for its eloquent prose. Hey, I carried a pistol before I ever picked up a pen.

You might be offended by what you read. Fair enough. It is a true story, and life is often times an offensive string of circumstances.

Every conversation is as accurate as my memory will allow.

Every account is verifiable through evidence in my possession. Yes, I made copies.

Welcome to TERRORIST UNIVERSITY

About the Author: I was raised in the jungles by wolves and ninjas - that can't be factually verified, of course.

The truth: I'm a former member of the US NAVY and the French Foreign Legion. I have fought professionally in the MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) and have won two world titles in the process. I've done stunts with Chuck Norris (Walker: Texas Ranger), defused explosives, hit targets at +1,000 meters, made America's Most Wanted list, worked with "Freeway" Ricky Ross, co-written with Jimmy DaSaint, and met the Prime Minister of Pakistan.

* Regardless of rumors to the contrary: I DID NOT stab the president of Paraguay in the neck with a fork. That whole affair was blown way out of proportion. And I deny every being a part of any dictator(s) being overthrown in Central Africa, and South America. My Spanish just isn't that good.

I've written about 20 books, most of them while on the run from the US Government. I should back up:

I used to be a professional bodyguard. Some of my clients were the fancy Hollywood types; and others were the East Coast Mobster kind. One of my clients in particular was a former Hitman, and hired me after he had put his assassination days behind him . . . or so I believed.

The US Government took me, along with the other bodyguards, into custody. They began asking if we had knowledge of our Boss's previous hits. We said, "No," and immediately all lawyered up. After we were released on bond I met with the other bodyguards and informed them that I was leaving the country.

2 days later I was gone.

Several months later I ended up in Paris, signing a contract with the French Foreign Legion. I trained in everything from Interrogation, Diving, Small unit Counter-terrorism tactics, and all the uglier sides of warfare that decent people don't care to discuss. I learned French, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic in the process.

Anyway, most of my literary works were created while I was on the run from INTERPOL, dodging cops.

I write lots of dark, twisted, morosely humorous things. I like thrillers, suspense, crime, and baby ducks (on a bed of white rice, of course . . . jk).

I hope you enjoy my work.
