Chapter 749: Jack's Doubts and Unexpected Explosions
The N.S.A. and DHS's New York office was just a few blocks from Federation Square, and Jubal contacted Dana Moger at the NSA, and Jack called Hodgner, who was at DHS.
He informed Hodchner of the details of the tetrodotoxin case and the recent Federal Building collar bomb case, and raised his suspicions from the perspective of the client.
An hour later, Dana Moger and Rossi sent back a message that the N.S.A. confirmed Jack's suspicions, and they found a $3 million fund flow through reverse checking.
The money was split into countless small sums of less than $100 after the money flowed out of a virtual currency trading center, and ended up in several suspicious accounts that the NSA reasonably believes are related to "Dark Jihad".
"So 'Dark Jihad' now has money, a huge amount of money enough to cover more than a dozen suicide bombers, and this is probably just the first advance, and the rest of the money is temporarily left in the virtual currency account."
Jack was a little speechless, just because the other party honestly paid the capital gains tax, the NSA missed the money, are the heads of these guys in this area all poached from the IRS?
Dana Moge also confirmed Jack's speculation by phone, "The identity of the suspect in the attack who was shot by Emily is not in any of the known crime databases, and we don't even know if he is a resident of the country or a stowaway, which is very much in line with the usual style of 'Dark Jihad'."
Why are they using a terrorist attack as a threat to release this guy at this time? This will only reduce the possibility of extradition to zero. ”
Considering Rossi's connections, this news should be more credible, and Jack hesitantly proposed another possibility, "Could it be that there is infighting in the Duranger drug cartel?" Someone wants to ascend to power, simply in this way completely eliminate the possibility of Anthony Vargas's extradition? ”
"Yes, that's what the NYPD learned after 911, when they got a good idea of how much it can break when they put their eggs in one basket."
What Hodgner said should be that when the Twin Towers collapsed, the emergency command center at that time was completely destroyed, and the entire rescue command layer, including the New York Fire Department, was wiped out, making the follow-up accident rescue in a state of no command for a long time.
After hanging up the phone, Jack called Hodgner and Joyna, who were still at DHS, to give the latest information.
Previous street attacks all took place at noon, which means that the time for the other side to launch the attack should also be at noon, which is when the streets of New York are crowded with tourists, and the other side can launch a bomb attack to cause the greatest casualties.
Now that the direction has been determined, it should soon be possible to identify the specific executor behind the scenes.
"Okay, then you guys should go back to the headquarters as soon as possible, and I'll contact the others, as long as we get through tonight safely, it's our turn to make a move."
In addition to recruiting believers online, they also excel at finding young believers from moderate families in their homeland and brainwashing them into suicide bombers. ”
It's really messy, Jack has only one comment on this, and this is also sad for the small Latin American country, Bolivia is rich in minerals and natural resources, and the country's economy is based on coca cultivation.
Maybe the FBI and the NYPD will be able to hold a joint press conference before noon tomorrow, after they announced to the public that the killer had been shot purely to confuse each other.
But now that the truth has almost been revealed, DHS has sent crisis support teams to the eight areas where the attacks have occurred to investigate suspicious situations and will continue to monitor and observe.
Whether it is to send gunmen or carry out bomb attacks, it is much simpler, at least there is no need to use a sum of nearly 10 million US dollars and risk working against the "world police".
"Is it possible that the Ministry of Justice will agree to the extradition of the Bolivian side? No, the CIA stepped in? Jack heard what he meant, and only felt unbelievable, but after thinking about it, this is also a routine operation of the CIA, anyway, it was the FBI that was almost blown up before, and it didn't blow it up.
Mixed with a terrorist organization and carrying out a terrorist attack on the side of Lao Mei, is he really not afraid that Anthony Vargas will choke to death while drinking water in prison?
But Rossi raises a new question: "My old friend at the CIA told me that there are forces in Bolivia pushing for the extradition of Anthony Vargas to the federal government, and if this information is true, contradicts Jack's speculation.
Jack heard the ding-dong chime of the elevator on the arrival floor from Hodgner's phone.
"It's not impossible." Rosie was also shocked by Jack's brain, "But isn't that too complicated?" I'll talk to an old CIA friend about it again.
If, as he suspected, someone wanted to take out Anthony Vargas in this way, it would not be better off when he was extradited back to Bolivia.
Jack hung up the phone and contacted Emily, Hannah, and Jiejie one by one, and then breathed a sigh of relief, the mastermind behind the scenes had surfaced, and the rest was only a matter of time.
Now we can only hope that the NSA will be a little stronger, and find out the true identity of the planner as soon as possible so that he can come to arrest people, it is now 9 o'clock in the evening, and theoretically there are still 15 hours left for their side.
"OK, Joyner and I are preparing to leave DHS, they are working with the NYPD to set up multiple emergency command centers, and we are ready to catch them."
Just as Jack continued to wipe his gun and was thinking wildly, an explosion suddenly sounded, and the alarm of the car parked downstairs in the Federal Building was shaken, and everyone screamed.
Rossi's previous words have always haunted Jack's mind, if it is said that they are doing nothing now to save their own leaders, or that it is best to force the president to submit to an extradition agreement in Bolivia.
There was a hint of sarcasm in Rossi's voice, "Yes, at least there are people within the C.I.A. who are said to be in favor of certain conditions that people can't refuse." ”
However, it is said that the resistance to extradition is not within the federation at the moment, but is firmly opposed by the Bolivian presidential faction, which, well, is a bit of a chaotic political situation in the country, and is currently in power with an interim government. ”
"Multiple?" He was a little confused.
It is normal for "Dark Jihad" to make any moves, create a terrorist attack that will cause a sensation in the world, and issue a so-called declaration, but the operation of the Duranger drug cartel is really incomprehensible.
Schrödinger's mildness and extremism, Jack said that he was used to it, and you can never tell if the other party is extreme or moderate until you pull off the bomb vest.
The reasons behind the political chaos and entrenchment of various forces in this impoverished small Latin American country are complex, but in the final analysis, there is only one, the interference of external forces.
In the Xi'an Incident on the eve of the Anti-Japanese War, the bald head was detained, and a certain bigwig surnamed He made a white-clothed oath and directly sent the air force to bomb, saying that he wanted to rescue the leader, but in fact he hoped to force Zhang Yang and the two generals to make a desperate gamble and take the opportunity to get rid of the bald head.
Issues such as extradition are put aside for the time being, and it is easy to confirm that the Duranger drug cartel is linked to "Dark Jihad", and the NSA's monitoring of the activities of domestic terrorist organizations is quite in place, and it is not a joke to find out that everyone is undercover in the end of a terrorist attack plan.
It's just that Jack is still faintly uneasy in his heart, it is not strange that the Duranger drug cartel and "Dark Jihad" converge, but the ultimate motive is a little vague.
"Where did it explode?"
"What's wrong?"
Nearly everyone in the operations center flocked to the window, only to see the flames two blocks east of the Federation Building, and the black smoke was shining into the sky.
