Ultimate Force - Al Qaeda attack

Friday, 16 May 2008

US Special Forces join Red Troop for a joint operation.

Finn is pleased to be reunited with Lieutenant Pincher, a Green Beret he trained with in Kentucky, but there's no love lost between the others, especially when Pincher is put in charge.

Their target is a new Al Qaeda training camp in the White Mountains of Afghanistan, where Mohammed Hassan is thought to be planning another 9/11 style attack.

MI6 and the CIA want him captured alive, together with his laptop which holds the key to the terrorist group's network.

At the camp, Hassan tells his recruits they have been chosen for a co-ordinated attack on seven major western cities. One of the men, Benali, seems worried about failure.

Deciding on a silent attack, the soldiers parachute into the White Mountains at night – but soon discover they have been dropped too far north.

They walk through the night, with the SAS riled by the Americans' sexist and racist remarks.

After a second night they reach the outskirts of the camp where Hassan is giving out mobile phones to the chosen martyrs, which will tell his laptop when to trigger the bombs.

This episode is on ITV1, Sunday 18 May 2008 @ 9-10.30pm.
