Middle East. Wednesday, 24th of February, 1999. The US Secretary of Defence, William Cohen, while on an official visit in Kuwait, was kidnapped by the members of the Iraqi Secret Service and taken away to an unknown place somewhere in the Iraqi desert. On the 1st of March 1999 CIA receives confirmed information about the place where William Cohen is being held. It appears after a satellite search that the area is not strongly protected. On the 2nd of March 1999 President Clinton makes a decision about a military operation which will be executed by a special elite unit: Delta Corps. Plan of action: The commando unit will carry out a landing operation near the palace; it will quickly rescue the Secretary and take over the palace, waiting for the strike force. The first task of the strike force is to combat the enemy resistance and eliminate every direct threat to American troops, its second task is to rescue the Secretary from the palace and transport him safely to the borders of Kuwait. The mission must be completed in 60 minutes. After this time, the Iraqi forces will attack the palace and secure the borders making it Impossible neither to rescue the Secretary nor to get out of the Iraq territory.
