Alan Hart is an author, former Middle East Chief Correspondent for Independent Television News[1], and former BBC Panorama presenter specialising in the Middle East.

Hart is the author of several books including a 1984 biography of Yasser Arafat,Terrorism or Freedom Fighters: Yasser Arafat and the PLO. More recently he has completed the trilogy Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews[2] In an article discussing his book, Hart stated that "until enough Americans are made aware of the truth of history, no American president will have the space to break the Zionist lobby’s stranglehold on Congress."

Hart began his career as a reporter in central Africa and served as a war correspondent in Vietnam. He tells of having been the first Western correspondent to reach the banks of the Suez Canal with the Israeli army in 1967. He also tells of having been friendly with both Golda Meir and Yasser Arafat at roughly the same time and having been on friendly term with such leaders as Saudi Arabia's King Faisal, Jordan's King Hussein, and both Egyptian Presidents Nasser and Sadat.

Hart was involved in the failed attempt by the late Shah of Iran to go into exile in the UK after he was deposed from power. On February 9 1979, as a freelance journalist close to the shah, Hart contacted Downing Street to say the deposed royal was interested in living full-time at his lavish estate in Surrey, southwest of London.

Hart has never been a member of any political party or group. When asked what drives him he has said, "I have three children, and, when the world falls apart, I want to be able to look them in the eye and say, "Don't blame me. I tried." [press release, April 28, 2010]

In May 2010, Alan broke his silence on 9/11 while speaking on the Kevin Barrett Show by revealing that the world’s most prominent civil engineering company told him directly that the collapse of the twin towers was a controlled demolition.
