He quickly graduated to research and writing, and then spent years working, often covertly, on investigations into nuclear smuggling and terrorism. His 1998 investigative book The New Jackals, the first in the world on Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda, became an international bestseller, and was followed by his book One Day in September, which is also an Oscar-winning documentary movie. Since making the leap to television Simon has shown his adventures in multiple award-winning TV series for the BBC which have been broadcasted in dozens of countries, enthralling millions…
