>> that story right now "on assignment." good evening and welcome to "on assignment." i'm lester holt. tonight we take you into the very heart of the terrorist world and for the first time, an american who joined isis in syria has returned to reveal the inr working of the terrorist group. he told his story exclusively to richard ingle. for the past 19 months, the u.s. government has been hiding a valuable intelligence asset somewhere in new york. this week, they revealed him but only to us. we've been asked to call him only mo and when fbi agents brought him out, he didn't look like a dangerous criminal but make no mistake, he pled guilty to two terrorism charges because in 2014 he spent five months in syria training with isis. >> i've let my family down.

and i've let god down and i have a lot to make up for. >> so you in this interview and other places apologizing? >> absolutely. >> why should i believe you, that you really regretted it? one could say now you're facing a difficult situation and you have to say it was a big mistake. >> i mean, i took my steps on my own by going in. i also took a lot of steps on my own getting out, and i'm helping in every sense that i can to help rid the world of the evil that i saw. >> mo is awaiting sentencing and hopes that cooperating with the government will buy him some leniency, a naturalized citizen, he came here from bangladesh when he was a baby and grew up in new york city. >> did you grow up what you would call religiously extreme environment? >> no, not at all. >> what was it like to be a kid

>> i don't imagine anything different from any other new yorker, at least a muslim new yorker because there is some religion involved, sure. i grew up playing basketball, going to school. >> mo's high school paper published an essay praising super heroes including albert einstein, winston churchill and mr. burke. he went to community college, made the dean's list and caught the eye of a colombia university recruiter. there you are colombia university, a hard school to get in. >> yeah, i was excited. >> until a teacher in a class about islam played a provocative and controversial film called "submission". >> it's a video about a woman in a birka with koran writing pointed on her and one of the most offensive things that made me feel alienated.

still bothers me. >> do you think this was a turning point for you? >> it's c is. i became observant. >> mo left columbia and for awhile drove a taxi through the streets of new york city. he was repelled by what he saw as temptation around him. he didn't take questions of faith and identity to his local mosque. >> where do you look for these answers about islam? >> my research was mostly independent, what i thought was independent online. >> according to ali a former fbi agent that tracked islamic radicals, social media is isis' main method for recruiting. >> they have the communication with them on social media and go to apps where it allows them to do peer to peer communication. >> influenced what he saw online, mo beg

to syria where he believed a pure islamic state is rising. is it possible in the spring of 2014 that someone wouldn't have known what isis was all about, how brutal the group was? >> if you look back in the united states, for example, most of the experts that you are talking to will say hey, isis only kacares about establishing ca ca cale fite. >> he wasn't sure he wanted to leave until in 2014 the fbi came knocking. >> why did the fbi come? >> they were wondering about my activity online. >> they followed your social media? >> yeah. >> they thought it was suspicious? >> yeah. they asked if i had any want to go. i did lie a little. i said i'm interested to go to syria. >> twoay

to go to work but headed instead to the airport. >> this was a spur of the moment decision? >> it happened very fast. i bought the ticket and the night before i packed my bags, left a letter to my parents and. >> what did you say? >> i was planning to not come back, it was a farewell. >> he was able to board a flight to istanbul and make his way to orpha with foreign fighters. he made contact with isis over twitter and was soon driven with four other recruits to the border where they ran into trouble. >> we were caught by turkish border patrol. they beat the crap out of us. >> punching you. >> kicking a metal rod, the butts of their akas. >> and then? >> they told us to cross into syria. >> they told you to go into syria? >> yeah. >> they stopped you, arrested you, beat you and said okay, get

>> yeah, and pointing a gun and i just did what i had to. i just ran. >> mo soon reached a safe house and the first thing he was asked to do as a resident of the islamic state was to fill out a form. >> it was just the guys took us separately and asked a bunch of background-type questions. >> there was one box where they could say special skills. >> uh-huh. >> on your form it said studied at colombia university, has planned for taking down aircraft, could be useful. what is that? >> well, i guess, that's how they wrote it. they said do you want to be a fighter, a fighter or a fighter? and you know, i was just really trying to think of an excuse not to be a fighter. >> but you were saying okay, don't use me as a fighter because i'm a terrorist mastermind? >> huh? >> you said don't send me off to the front lines because i can be useful in other ways. >> it's short-sided but, you

was, you know, save my skin. >> two weeks after the initial processing, mo was sent to an islamic training camp like this one where he claims he was shocked by what the isis instructors were saying. >> what kinds of things were they telling you? >> perspectives on, for instance, slave girls. it was something that they perpetrated and thought of as actual slavery and enslavement of just regular civilians and people. >> he says he was appalled but things were about to get much worse. he headed for military training next. >> a weapons class, a tactical class and there would be like a physical training class. >> what kind of weapons did you train on? >> they gave you an ak and they had you memorize it and everyone got three bullets a person. >> so they didn't want you to use too much ammunition.

i guess. >> did they show you how to make bombs. >> they explained how to use it. >> the isis videos i've seen or anybody has seen are so brutal. >> all those videos came out a couple months after me being there. they just got more brutal and brutal in front of me. it's like a blood thirst, i guess. people just had a readiness for violence. >> the group was attracting violent people you think? >> absolutely. that's the bulk of the people going there. >> did you see evidence of all the gore that we see in the isis propaganda? >> towards the end, as things were getting more and more serious, i did see severed heads placed on spiked poles. >> you saw heads on a stick? >> yeah. >> and what did you think? >> i just blocked it out. i tried to ignore it. >> you thought that this was

going to be an islamic utopia you said is? >> yes. >> you could see madness in their eyes. >> you've been presenting yourself very much as a victim, someone that fell for their propaganda. >> uh-huh. >> but you went and joined a group that is known the world over for it's brutality. >> i'm not saying i'm a victim. i know, i've seen the victims there. i don't support terrorism. i support islam. i like the idea of islam. >> lots of people like islam and want to follow their religion who don't join international terrorist group. >> uh-huh. >> see, that's the trap. very, very in line. >> he says he was seduced by isis, that he was effectively a victim. do you buy that? >> i don't buy that. this is bologna, to be honest with you. there is an individual that went, joined isis and when he

in the form, he asked to help isis bring down planes. this is a person who went to join isis with terrorists intentions on his mind. >> did you do any fighting? >> no, thank god, no. >> when did you decide that you were going to leave? >> one morning everyone was busy. they left me alone for an hour, and so i took that chance and i walked out. >> he found a sympathetic syrian that promised to help him sneak back across the border. >> i remember sitting in an internet cafe waiting for the guy to pick me up, and i was sitting there for over 12 hours. i was trying to e-mail my parents. >> saying i'm trying to come home, i made a terrible mistake but i may not survive. >> i may be caught and killed. i was shaking in my hands and that's what terror is and what evil is.

turkish side, mo headed for the nearest u.s. consulate. american agents escorted him all the way back to the states where he was promptly arrested by the fbi. he's been in jail since and faces up to 25 years in prison. the government allowed him to speak to us hoping his story will detour other young americans from falling from isis' pitch. >> i think i have a real message and that's the most important thing. the message is that islamic state is not bringing islam to the world, and people need to know that, and i will say that until the day i die. >> how genuine the promise from an american that pledged his life for isis will be for a federal judge to decide. >> coming up, love your pet? how about a spare set? >> when you see the dogs, do you think clones or puppys? >> cloning your dog. >> so unbelievable and

the lab cloned 780 dogs for customers around the world including these two jack russell territories for this couple. >> over here we have a pomerian and york shire territory. >> clones? >> all clones. >> here is clones for a client in china. >> six of them all together? >> yes. >> all clones? >> all clones. >> just want to make sure. >> here we have another clone for a client in india. >> right. there you go. looks like a happy dog. >> yeah. >> a happy clone. >> the man behind all this dog cloning is dr. hwang woo-suk. in 2005 hwang cloned the first dog, the invention of the year. the year before hwang created a

claimed to have cloned a human embryo. a dramatic scientific first. >> do you trust this guy? >> i can't trust him, no. >> dr. beth is a biologist and genius grant award. >> dr. hwang claimed to have cloned a human embryo and the whole world said what happened, what happened to the science? >> it turned out he hadn't actually cloned a human embryo and did some things that were not faverbly looked upon by the scientific and global community. >> investigators found hwang's data on human cloning was fabricated and female lab workers were pressured into donating eggs. he lost his job and lost face. hwang vowed he would spend the rest of his life repenting. >> anyone that has lied very publicly and been found guilty of that, i think will be very hard for the scien

community to get behind him. >> but dr. hwang has come roaring back building this foundation into an international cloning mega business and while we were welcomed at his lab, dr. hwang turned down our request for an interview offering instead a proxy, researcher david kim. >> i think people have an idea that bizarre cloned animals are coming out of these dogs and they have two heads and three legs. that this is some frankenstein f factory. >> cloning has been warped because of science fiction movies. >> we watched dr. hwang perform the procedures necessary to clone the dog. he removes eggs from ovaries and needs a dna sample from a living or recently deceased animal. so you need that? >> yeah. >> clong

these pictures, a pig, the dna is lit up with dye and sucked out of the egg and the dna from the animal you want to clone replaces it and shoot in electricity and there. not exactly biology 101. for laura and richard, it worked twice. >> i would literally could not believe it. >> she screamed and said it's true. i thank god. >> oh, no. >> the lab offered the second pup as a gift but there was a different kind of cost to producing a healthy clone, numerous surgical procedures on other wise ehealthy dog from th donor to surrogate. there are a lot of medical procedures for you to get your successful clone. >> yeah. >> is that all worth it?

>> i mean, that's the part i do feel worse about knowing that these dogs are having to have unnecessary operation because i'm such a dog lover. >> laura spent a lot of time at the lab and convinced the dogs here are treated humanly. >> there is the dow narcotnor o egg. >> it's predatory convincing someone if they give you $100,000, you can give them an identical copy of a beloved pet, it's not fair. >> i got the genetic replica, looks like fido, right, barks like fido. >> there will be behaviors and physical traits and other aspects of this dog that will be identical to the dog that once lived, but it's not the same dog. identical twins are clones of each other but are different people.

on playing on emotions of people like you grieving so desperately for the animal they lost. >> yeah. >> do you feel exploited at all in this process? >> no, not really. anyway, probably is a way to deal with my grief and just to make me feel like there is still a part of him somewhere in this world, to feel like i have not fully lost him. >> but dr. hwang is doing more than cloning warm, fiuzzy puppies. half a world away another of dr. hwang's clones are learning how to sit, fetch and rollover. he's being taught how to identify different types of explosives. >> that's black powder. he will be an explosives dog. >> spector is a clone of a animal of rare courage, a once in a lifetime u.s. special forces dog. >> can you tell me the dog's

name or where the dog is working now? >> the dog's name is branco and the dog is assigned to a unit i can't tell you. >> classified? >> classified, yes. >> john has 30 years experience working with police and military dogs. a former cop, he runs shallow creek kennels. training dogs and their handlers for law enforcement. somebody calls you up one day and says hey, do you want to work with a clone? was your response? >> i kind of laughed at first. i didn't think it would work. i didn't think there would be any difference between a normal puppy compared to a clone puppy, and we were proven wrong. >> spector is the third clone of that u.s. special forces dog. the first two are already working for the atf swat team. >> just for the record, this is a good idea, right? >> good idea. >> at five months old, spector's bite is already much worse than his bark. >> man!

>> those are some serious jaws. >> the genes are the same, the dog looks the same, is there something else you're sensing about this clone? >> they seem to have previous life experience. they seem to be more mature and focused than a puppy should be. >> does it freak you out a little bit? >> absolutely. it's like a science experiment, yes. >> if clones pets and combat dogs isn't impressive enough, you'll want to see what dr. hwang wants to clone next. ♪ ♪

then he helped unleash spotify and at 36, he's husband of alexandria, father of two and the proud owner of one of l.a.'s most expensive and iconic mid century mansions. >> architecture is incredibly modern. >> but curious kid, he most certainly still is and so when his good friend laura was fighting cancer, he got very curious indeed about a cutting edge treatment called immu immunothera immunotherapy. >> she participated in clinical trials about immune know they are -- immunotherapy, maybe earlier would have worked. >> even though it seemed so promising. >> you know, losing laura changed me. i went from being someone for

whom this was an abstract problem to someone who was a militant activist. >> immunotherapy harnesses the body's immune system and helps it attack and kill cancer cells. parker's tech background persuaded him the treatment should work. >> the theory had an appeal to me. you start to learn about things like killer t cells. they are incredibly sophisticated killing machines like little commuters. >> could they be harnessed to fight cancer? parker south out leading doctors and hospitals working with immunotherapy and heard about stacy for years kept alive only by intense chemotherapy. >> i was falling apart. i couldn't get out of bed or function or think about the next week. >> the best thing you would get is prolonging this. >> yes, and it was literally killing me. >> then she was offered a place in a trial of immunotherapy drugs and now, do you feel normal? >> i fee

if immunotherapy is so promising, why aren't there more new treatments? why aren't more people getting them? he plowed through dense medical journals, badger the top experts for information. >> it goes back to being a hacker. you're looking for vulnerabilities, you're looking for broken things in order to go and fix them. >> what's broken? immunotherapy research has been gummed up said parker, slowed down by a burfunding system. >> scientists struggle to keep their lab going and every time they were applying for grants, they are rejected because the funding tends to go to the same people. >> he calculate that less than 4% of cancer research grants have been going toward immunotherapy, and top doctors must devote about one-third of their time to applications and competitions for the grants to pay for research. >> there really was no other way short of me winning the new york

state lotto, right, and funding myself. >> but the process can take years and thus delay new treatments for patients. what do you think of that? >> incredibly frustrating. patients don't want to wait a generation for governments and other large institutional funders, you know, to provide answers. the way parker saw it, the cancer curing business was right for his brand of disruptions. >> i start with a simple question, how are we spending $300 billion on research and development with such little improvement over the last 20 years in the life expectancy of patients? >> one of the road blocks, established research centers have been reluctant to share rights to new therapies, which is, says parker, just about the same problem he encountered when he helped get spotify up and running. >> how is organizing cancer research like organizing spotify.
