Maybe not.

I believe that those reporters sent into the rough are not ever from any western media giant.

Usually, it's Al Jaazeera's Arabic branch is the only network with the contacts needed and the protection required to get such interviews.

Although there are quite a few western reporters which have managed to get right in the midst of senior al Qaeda leaders and reported extensively about them.

One of them is Lawrence Wright who usually writes for the New Yorker, the rest are mostly dead.
