Merchant's Bank in Saudi
Description
Merchant's Bank in Saudi funnels $65,000 from terror financier Abdul Lebin Shareef's accounts straight into Bai terrorist hands, deposit slamming one week before Marine barracks erupt in flames at Port Al Alzoud. Intelligence officers slam this money trail onto Situation Room tables alongside matching bomb signatures from Tunisia, forging circumstantial chains that snare Shareef as Capone in ally garb—yet Bartlet demands ironclad proof before Justice pounces, tension ratcheting as assassination shadows loom over U.S. soil.
