These groups have agreed to temporarily cease hostilities, pool their resources, and work together to combat the "secular, oppressive, and corrupt powers of the world."Although the network's origins are shrouded in mystery, some believe that Richard Palmer, a well-connected former congressman and CEO of P3 Arms International, had a role in arranging preliminary discussions between the two individuals accused of being the masterminds behind the HTA-Abdul Majid al-Nasri, a dissident Libyan politician, and Takashi Ota, the disgraced CEO of Ota Technologies, a major R&D enterprise based in Tokyo."THE GOOD GUYS" - SPIDER DIVISION - UNITED NATIONS ANTI-TERRORISM UNIT (UNATU)Following weeks of investigations into an unprecedented number of seemingly related terrorist attacks on international targets, the UN Security Council convened for an emergency session to review findings and provide recommendations for facilitating communication between at-risk nations and deterring further attacks. Although authorities identified several key perpetrators and terrorist organizations involved in the attacks, they were unable to uncover any information detailing the apparent links between the terror groups. In order to effectively combat this evolved and intricate global threat, the Security Council approved the creation of the United Nations Anti-Terrorism Unit (UNATU), an elite, multi-national strike force comprised of the world's greatest military, counter-terrorism, and intelligence specialists.Feedback:AnyI'd like to hear from those interested or requesting more information.
