The American Taliban

on BBC Two England

At the age of 16, John Walker Lindh was a quiet young man growing up in California. At 20 he was captured in Afghanistan fighting with the Taliban against American forces and is now serving a 20-year prison sentence. Did he become a convert to the cause and methods of Osama bin Laden ? Or was it, as his parents claim, that his spiritual journey to study Islam simply went awry? Fergal Keane presents a documentary that aims to find the truth about "the American Taliban".
