Mahdi Obeidi was taken into custody by US Special Forces. He is released on June 17, 2003. During his detention, Obeidi is interviewed by US authorities seeking to learn more about Saddam's efforts to develop nuclear weapons. He is asked about Saddam's efforts to develop nuclear weapons. Obeidi and his family will later move to a CIA safe house in Kuwait. At the end of the summer, he received permission to move to an East Coast suburb on the basis of Public Law 110, which allows "those who help the United States by providing valuable intelligence information" to resettle in the US. Around the time a New York Times article appeared, Dr. Obeidi, his family, and the material from his clandestine cache were in the United States, where he was giving thought to a book about his experiences under Saddam. The Bomb In My Garden is the result. Written with journalist Kurt Pitzer, whom Obeidi knew in Baghdad.

In the telling, he gives a detailed, balanced view of events. The book's title is both metaphorical and factual. Had the secret cache been discovered by Saddam's security elements, Obeidi and his family might have been eliminated. On the other hand, there was a real bomb in his garden, and he tells that story in the first chapter. …
