Bai

International Bombing Terrorism Funded by Rogue Financiers

Description

Bai terrorists funnel laundered funds from Shareef-controlled banks straight into operatives' hands, detonating synchronized hellfire on the Tunisia embassy and Port Al Alzoud mere hours later. Bomb signatures scream identical fury, operatives ghosting through shadows with precision that indicts their paymaster in the Situation Room's merciless light—circumstantial chains binding a kingpin's dirty war, operatives' blades honed for U.S. throats as Bartlet weighs proof against peril.
