Part 10, WORLD Special Report: Confessions of a Dangerous Man Frank Terpil

Hosted by Daniel Schorr, this Emmy Award winning documentary was produced back in 1982 for the 'World' television series by David Fanning of Frontline and written and directed by Anthony Thomas. Sadly, you'll only see it here, I hope to change that..
If you like 'Yuri Orlov' and Lord of War you'll love Frank Terpil. After his departure from The Agency for currency trading back and forth between India and Afghanistan while he was stationed in New Delhi he joined Theodore Shakley's 'Company' and helped Thomas Clines manipulate Edwin Wilson who sold arms to Momar Khadaffi.

For further information please see Prelude to Terror by Joseph Trento.



The first thing that Gary sold to us was a silenced 22* assassination pistol. This was provided as an example of items he could get in lots of 10,000..

Frank's eyes gleefully lit up as he described how a car would blow up after you filled the radiator with binary explosive..

"The best one you could do, is the rat one.."

I have never seen such a well done documentary like this.. No wonder investigative report is no longer done at this level anymore.

@GABRIELJACMEL

Glad you like it. It's a pity that BBC/WGBH haven't seen fit to release it in any format..

Does anyone know what happened to Frank after his capture in Cuba in 1995? I haven't found any record of him after that.

Expose`s like this don't appear in mainstream media. Gee, I wonder why!

I was pulled to this expose by the the death (RIP) of Daniel Schorr. What he has done and seen in 93 years is amazing.

Brilliant work done by the BBC & WGBH. Gritty and all too real for many to realise it actually did happen. Many thanks to you ISleepnow!
