THE TERRORIST WHISPERER: THE STORY
The Asset U.S. Intelligence Trusted to Hunt Terror from Within
During the peak of the Global War on Terrorism in Iraq, the U.S. Intelligence community recruited Hamody Jasim, a young Iraqi who rose from a tortured inmate in Saddam Hussein’s brutal prison at age 12 to one of the most effective intelligence operatives combating terrorism. His fearless service as the youngest-ever Iraqi Army Sergeant Major at 19 saw him fighting alongside American forces, earning the nickname “The Terrorist Whisperer” for his uncanny ability to detect insurgent threats.
Leading a Personal Security Detail (PSD) team at the Iraqi Ministry of Defense—akin to the U.S. Pentagon—Jasim protected Coalition and Iraqi forces in one of Baghdad’s most perilous locations. His team’s critical mission involved tracking and neutralizing al-Qaeda infiltrators within the Ministry, saving numerous lives by disrupting terrorist plots. The loss of one of his PSD members to these inside operatives deepened Jasim’s resolve to root out corruption and terror, even as he faced daily threats to his own life. In a defining moment, he heroically thwarted a suicide attack by removing a C4-laced vest from the Ministry, risking his life to protect others.
Constantly targeted, Jasim changed sleeping arrangements daily to evade assassins but remained committed to his team despite Coalition orders to leave for his safety. He made the heart-wrenching decision to depart the Ministry when he realized his presence endangered his men.
The book that changed the war
The Iraqi who helped U.S. Intelligence dismantle al-Qaeda from the inside.
The Terrorist Whisperer is the extraordinary true story of Hamody Jasim — a young Iraqi who was recruited by U.S. Intelligence after stopping the abduction of an American military officer. Risking death every day, he infiltrated terrorist networks, gathered critical intelligence, and exposed plots before they could strike.
His information didn’t just reach command centers — it saved numerous American lives and changed the battle for the Marines who were fighting there. From Fallujah to Ramadi, his street-level intel gave U.S. forces the upper hand and disrupted some of al-Qaeda’s deadliest operations.
Trusted at the highest levels, Hamody’s reports were delivered directly to CIA leadership and presidential advisors. Backed by senior military figures — including General David Petraeus, former Director of the CIA — this book tells the real story behind enemy lines.
THE DOCUMENTARY
From Baghdad’s Warzones to the CIA’s Front Lines

This is more than a war movie — it’s a firsthand look inside covert operations, high-risk missions, and the moral cost of fighting terror from within. It’s the story Hollywood was afraid to tell – until now.
Working with the CIA and elite American forces, Hamody provided the kind of intelligence that stopped bombings, uncovered sleeper cells, and led to the capture of al-Qaeda’s most dangerous commanders. His intel saved numerous American lives and changed the battle for the Marines who were fighting there.
This is the true account of an Iraqi soldier turned U.S. intelligence asset — a man who risked it all for a country he came to love. With support from senior officials, including General David Petraeus, former CIA Director, this film unmasks the brutal truth of a silent war — and the whisperer who helped win it.
