Yacef the bombmaker

An interesting fact about this movie is that Yacef Saadi, who played the bombmaker in the film, is basically playing himself. Saadi, who also co-produced the film, was in fact the notorious bombmaker who used a huge team of operatives including a group of young women to plant bombs until his capture. A bit of gossip, a recently published memoir by a French intelligence agent accuses Saadi of being the one who informed the police of Ali La Ponte whereabouts. Saadi's familydenies it, and I think they are suing.
