How does a Roman Catholic altar boy from working-class Dublin,
trained to save lives as an intensive care nurse, become a
suicide bomber for ISIS? In this episode, we trace the bizarre,
dark, and highly public trajectory of Terence Kelly (aka "Taliban
Terry"). From a Saudi bootlegging ring to a rural cottage in
Longford, we explore the domestic isolation and digital
radicalization that led a brilliant man to volunteer for the
Islamic State’s formalized "martyrdom register"—and examine the
military reality of his final moments in the apocalyptic Battle
of Mosul.
