There has never been an attempt on the life of a United States Secretary of State. Until now.
Absimil Halane was born in 1990 in Mogadishu, the war-torn capitol of Somalia. His father was a senior leader of the clan of Mohamed Farrah Aidid, and was killed in a gun battle with U.S. Army Rangers in 1993.
In 1993, Gerald Ingersoll was a Captain with Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, and was sent to Somalia to assist in the capture of Aidid and restore order to the devastated city.
Fast forward to 2024, and Halane is now a hardened terrorist, trained by Al-Shabaab. As he watches Ingersoll being sworn in as Secretary of State, he seeths with anger, and swears to avenge his fathers death at the hands of the Rangers. Halane understands his most ambitious terrorist attack will require a group of hand-picked, highly trained men. And he knows where to get them. The United Nations refugee camps near Dadaab, Kenya, where he grew up.
When the CIA and NSA brief Preident Judd Henry, a former Army Ranger himself, that Halane may be planning an attack in the United States, targeting Ingersoll, His team swings into action.
The Kenyan Sanction reads like something that could be drawn from the headlines almost everyday.
