Hostage Intervention – The Dirty Bomb Plot
In 1978, two of several geo-political problem areas in the world for the United States are Iran and North Korea.
Iran has recently ousted its long-reigning ruler, Muhammad Reza Pahlavi, the Shah, who had been in charge since 1941. He was ousted most notably due to his poor relationship with Iran’s conservative Muslim Shi’a clergy.
Also, because of the Shah’s long-standing relationship with America, both the Iranian people and the Muslim clergy considered the United States as much the enemy as the Shah. These feelings erupted in 1978 in the takeover of the American Embassy in Tehran, a city in turmoil with daily demonstrations
On the other side of the world, North Korea wants desperately to be more respected on the world stage. A senior North Korean leader has proposed a plan to send dirty bombs, disguised as part of office furniture, to various United States’ embassies. One of these dirty bombs has been sent to the American embassy in Tehran.
Mike Cummins must ensure the dirty bomb is not detonated. He must do so without the Koreans becoming aware the United States knows about their dirty bomb plan.
The plot in Tehran is foiled – a very public, very embarrassing turn of events for the North Koreans. Things haven’t gone well for them, … thanks to Mike Cummins.
