Aaron Klein
WorldNetDaily Jerusalem bureau chief

Aaron Klein is Jerusalem bureau chief for WorldNetDaily.com. He has regular segments on some of America's top radio programs and serves routinely as a co-host of ABC Radio's national "The John Batchelor Show." Klein also has a column that appears every week on Page 2 of The Jewish Press, America's largest weekly Jewish newspaper.

Klein, the author of "Schmoozing with Terrorists," has broken many of the top Mideast stories since opening WND's Jerusalem bureau in February 2005. He covered Israel's withdrawal from Gaza on the ground, reporting from the Gaza Strip daily three months before the withdrawal until the last of the Jewish communities were evacuated in mid-August.

Klein's previous interview subjects have included PLO Leader Yasser Arafat, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hamas chief Mahmoud al-Zahar, Albanian Prime Minister Fatos Nano, former Lebanese Prime Minister Michel Aoun, Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, imprisoned spy Jonathan Pollard, leaders of the Taliban, Palestinian negotiation minister Saeb Erekat, former Israeli foreign minister Shlomo Ben Ami, worldwide Al-Muhajiroun leader Omar Bakri Muhammad, West Bank Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade leader Ala Senakreh, 2002 siege of the Church of the Nativity leader Jihad Jaara, among many others. Klein also secured the only interview with the families of the three U.S. contractors killed in the 2003 Gaza ambush.

Klein made headlines in 1999 when he traveled overseas to spend time with and interview members of a group connected to al-Qaida. His article about the experience, "My Weekend with the Enemy," was published in major-city newspapers in four countries. He also made news in November 2005 when he and national radio host Rusty Humphries interviewed the gun-toting senior leadership of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and again the next month when he was barred from broadcasting in Syria because, according to several Syrian officials, of Klein's Jewish faith.

Klein previously served as editor in chief of the Commentator, the undergraduate student newspaper of Yeshiva University. He can be read every day on WorldNetDaily.
