Plot foiled? Sundance doc lifts lid on FBI stings

Filmmakers Lyric R. Cabral (L) and David R. Sutcliffe, speak before the world premiere of their film “T(ERROR)” at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2015, in Park City, Utah "They themselves are the ones posing the inducements and suggestions for criminal activity," he told AFP in an interview with fellow filmmaker Lyric Cabral in Park City, Utah. The documentary tells the real story of "Shariff," a 63-year-old informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) who is tasked with monitoring a Muslim convert, Khalifah al-Akili, in Pittsburgh. The FBI wants him to assess Akili's interest in attending a terrorist training camp abroad. The FBI doesn't know its informant has agreed to be filmed for the documentary.
