Fox Nation teams up with Jack Carr to take viewers inside the global manhunt for Carlos the Jackal
Former NAVY SEAL sniper and New York Times bestselling author Jack Carr is taking his military insights to the small screen in a brand-new streaming event on Fox Nation.
Carr will host a three-part docuseries, "Jack Carr Investigates: Carlos the Jackal" on Fox Nation. The show, premiering on Monday, June 29, centers around the life of Carlos the Jackal, the Venezuelan militant behind several notable terrorist attacks of the 20th century. Carr details how the notorious criminal evaded authorities for decades and showcases the only known recorded interview with Carlos, offering a disturbing look at one of the most twisted minds in modern history.
Fox Nation President Lauren Petterson praised her platform's partnership with Carr, lauding the acclaimed author's expertise and past writing success.
"We are proud to partner with Jack on this compelling new series to bring his unique perspective of special operations and knowledge of national security to the Fox Nation audience," she said in a press release.

Carr expressed his fascination with Carlos the Jackal in the same press release, revealing that his interest in the subject started when he was just a child.
"I grew up reading about Carlos the Jackal in any publication I could find that reported on him and his attacks." he said. "As a kid, I could not understand how intelligence services across the globe were unable to track him down and bring him to justice. Now, in this new Fox Nation docuseries, I explore the man behind the myth, the elusive Carlos, the murderer who inspired a new generation of terrorists through his acts of violence, some of whom were on our target decks following September 11, 2001."
Joining Carr in the series is a team of former CIA and FBI officials, alongside intelligence experts who give firsthand accounts of the search for Carlos. They help connect the dots to explain how the menacing militant influenced modern terrorism and recount some of his most brutal assassinations, hijackings and bombings.

Carr has a prolific track record in the literary and television worlds, but he was a decorated former Navy SEAL before his screen career took off. He held leadership positions such as Team Leader, Platoon Commander, Troop Commander and Task Unit Commander. He led assault and sniper teams in Iraq and Afghanistan and led counterinsurgency efforts in the South Phillipines during his 20-year tenure in the military.
Using his deep tactical experience, Carr transitioned from combat to creative work with his debut New York Times bestselling novel, "The Terminal List." The blockbuster tale was later adapted into a popular Amazon Prime Video series starring Chris Pratt. Since then, he has released more than a half-dozen gripping tales, including "True Believer, "Savage Son," and "The Devil's Hand."
