CURVEBALL - A TRUE STORY. UNFORTUNATELY (CURVEBALL)
Bioweapons expert Wolf of the German Federal Intelligence Service BND is obsessed with the idea that, despite the UN inspections, anthrax is still being produced in Iraq. Back home in Germany, his superior Schatz assigns him as case officer for the Iraqi asylum seeker Rafid Alwan – because Alwan claims to have worked as an engineer for Saddam Hussein’s secret bioweapons program. It’s a rare triumph for a secret service not exactly spoilt by success: finally, they have a piece of intelligence that would put them one step ahead of the CIA. What they are missing, though, is proof. The search for which proves difficult, as ‘Curveball’ is well aware of his value to the agency.

CURVEBALL - A TRUE STORY. UNFORTUNATELY (CURVEBALL) Bioweapons
expert Wolf of the German Federal Intelligence Service BND is obsessed
with the idea that, despite the UN inspections, anthrax is still being
produced in Iraq. Back home in Germany, his superior Schatz assigns him
as case officer for the Iraqi asylum seeker Rafid Alwan – because Alwan
claims to have worked as an engineer for Saddam Hussein’s secret
bioweapons program. It’s a rare triumph for a secret service not exactly
spoilt by success: finally, they have a piece of intelligence that
would put them one step ahead of the CIA. What they are missing, though,
is proof. The search for which proves difficult, as ‘Curveball’ is well
aware of his value to the agency. His claims, meanwhile, end up serving
a number of decidedly different interests – the CIA, the German
government, everyone is trying to use his incredible story for their own
purposes. Thus, bit by bit, a construed story becomes reality and a lie
becomes the truth. A truth, which sets in motion a chain of events that
forever changes the global political landscape.
