Former NAVY SEAL sniper and New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr takes his military credentials to the small screen in a brand new broadcast event on Fox Nation.
Carr will host the three-part documentary, “Jack Carr Investigates: Carlos the Jackal” on Fox Nation. The show, which starts on Monday, June 29, focuses on the life of Carlos the Jackal, the Venezuelan activist behind the most significant terrorist attacks of the 20th century.

Fox Nation President Lauren Petterson praised her platform’s collaboration with Carr, praising the acclaimed writer’s creativity and past writing success.
“We are proud to partner with Jack on this compelling new series to bring his unique perspective on special operations and national security information to Fox Nation viewers,” he said in a statement. “His incredible insight into this series provides an unprecedented look at one of the most notorious terrorists of the modern era and the global effort to bring him to justice.”

Carr expressed his fascination with Carlos the Jackal in the same press release, revealing that his interest in the subject began at a young age.
“I grew up reading about Carlos the Jackal in any book I could find that reported on him and his attacks.” he said. “As a child, I did not understand how the intelligence services of the world could not track him down and bring him to court. Now, in this new Fox Nation documentary, I explore the man behind this legend, the mysterious Carlos, a killer who inspired a new generation of terrorists with his acts of violence, some of which were in our target houses after 20011.”

Joining Carr in the series is a team of former CIA and FBI officials, as well as intelligence experts who have first-hand experience in the search for Carlos. They help connect the dots to explain how the superhero has influenced modern terrorism and recount some of his most brutal murders, carjackings and bombings.
