Carr expressed his fascination with Carlos the Jackal in the same press release, revealing that his interest in the subject began when he was just a child.
“I grew up reading about Carlos the Jackal in any publication I could find that reported on him and his attacks.” said. “As a child, I couldn't understand how intelligence services around the world couldn't track him down and bring him to justice. Now, in this new Fox Nation documentary series, I explore the man behind the myth, the elusive Carlos, the killer who inspired a new generation of terrorists through his acts of violence, some of whom were our targets after September 11, 2001.”
