Quotes 

• Bill Buchanan : [while their briefing is recorded]  Bill Buchanan, Director CTU Los Angeles. I am here with Hamri Al-Assad: less than thirty minutes ago, Abu Fayed detonated a nuclear weapon in Los Angeles. We believe he is still at large with four more tactical nuclear weapons in his possession

  Hamri Al-Assad : Four?

  Bill Buchanan : That's right

  Hamri Al-Assad : Please, you must understand, I came to the United States to stop Fayed, I knew he intended to inflict damage but I did not know he had nuclear weapons

  Bill Buchanan : He is, which means there has to be a trail: there had to have been many people in the planning of this

  Hamri Al-Assad : This attack was planned after Fayed betrayed me six months ago

  Bill Buchanan : When he learned of your intention to broker a peace plan?

  Hamri Al-Assad : Yes, which I still intend to do

  Bill Buchanan : But you knew Fayed was coming to the United States?

  Hamri Al-Assad : This information only came to me days before the first attack began

  Bill Buchanan : From whom?

  Hamri Al-Assad : From a well informed man Mr. Buchanan

  Bill Buchanan : Are there any other "paths" you can think of? That can lead us to Fayed?

  Hamri Al-Assad : Yes, a source

  Bill Buchanan : What was the name of the General?
