Splinter Cell

This series by one of the New York times best selling author, Tom Clancy’s, Splinter cell is quite a series of its own. This plot of this novels takes place in precisely the year 2004 and a main emphasis on an Iranian terror group that goes by the name The Shadows. This group is led by a very wicked guy by the name of Nasir Tarighian who’s main aim is to use a mass destruction weapon that that can wipe out an entire city. This weapon is to be used on Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, as revenge for the invasion of Iraq on Iran in th e80’s where Nasir’s child as well as his wife were victims of that Iraq invasion on Iran’s soil. Just like its name, The Shadows, the group had subsequently skunked back into the shadows and they see this revenge mission of no benefit at all to them but Nasir is determined to convince them. Nasir tells his comrades that this plot will not only create further disorder and chaos than there already are in Iraq as well as the Middle East but it will also fuel the already existing hate for the West with more reference to the United States becaus wit already has its eye on Iraq. Nasir (also known by the name Namik Basaran who is the head of an Enterprise called Akdabar stationed in a turkey ande is believed to be a CIA snitch for many a years now), who in the aftermath of the Iran-Iraq dispute and subsequent war is hailed as a hero and in his thirst for vengeance, he hopes that the people of Iran will join him in his charade and invade Iraq as the United States has been forced out of the region. But Nasir is faced with extreme opposition from his fellow comrades in the group who see the plot as too ambitious to deliver the intended results and it’s just a 20 year old grudge that Nasir has been harboring to finally revenge on Iraq for the death of his wife and child. They would rather have the group attack some other country like Israel and this will create the effect of distabilization that they hope to get in the region.
