Lentils for every meal, 5-km runs at al-Qaeda camps: Ex-MI6 spy

Former MI6 spy Aimen Dean said on the podcast that al-Qaeda's training camps ran on military discipline and one ingredient. Lentils for breakfast, lunch and dinner, he recalled, alongside a mandatory five-kilometre run and barely five hours of sleep. Leaving Afghanistan in 2001, he swore them off until 2021.
