Abdel is best known for being the last Western journalist to interview Osama Bin Laden, which saw him in Bin Laden's company for three days in 1996 and shaped his book 'A Secret History of Al Qa'ida'. His hair-raising trip to Tora Bora saw him become the focus of global media attention.

In 1988, Abdel founded Al-Quds Al-Arabi, 'the only truly independent newspaper'. Abdel also met Yasser Arafat on several occasions in his Gaza headquarters before the building was destroyed by Israeli bombardment.

Abdel's story is a remarkable one - his parents were among 800,000 Palestinians dispossessed and forced to flee their homes by the occupying Israeli army in 1948, and he spent most of his early years in refugee camps.
