The Blacklist

Chapter 211 Is the Undercover Identity Real or Fake?
Everyone looked at each other, realizing the weirdness of it - a terrorist who might be a member of Hamas actually had the help of the Israeli Embassy to disguise himself as a corpse and enter NCIS to carry out the attack. This was naturally very strange!
Kerry said, "Nawabi, tell Mossad that if the attacker is one of theirs, then they must give an explanation to NCIS and SER. If he is not one of theirs, then it doesn't matter. We will kill this guy soon! Well, just say that Donald asked you to say that."

“Hahaha…” Nawabi originally thought that the topic was very serious, but the last sentence made her laugh with everyone.

After laughing, Donald asked, "Lee, do you mean that the attacker was an undercover agent sent by Mossad to Hamas?"

"It's basically certain, but this undercover agent is obviously disobedient!" Carrie said, "I believe that Mossad will not allow him to provoke American law enforcement agencies in this way!"

"Yes!" Nawabi nodded in agreement. If the attacker was an undercover agent, then this action had clearly crossed the line; if he was not an undercover agent, his actions were very strange. He gave up many opportunities to make things worse and to kill more NCIS personnel. This was not the style of a terrorist.

Donald said: "Nawabi, just say it this way!" In fact, he was very annoyed. If the attacker was really an undercover agent of Mossad, then his behavior this time was extremely excessive, even if the United States and Israel were staunch allies!

It was Monday at work as usual. Abby arrived and worked hard with Alam. They quickly determined the identity of the attacker - Palestinian Eric Haswell, who graduated from the Edinburgh Medical School in 1994 with a Doctor of Medicine degree. He was a junior of Dr. Dark more than ten years later. Later, he returned to the Gaza Strip and practiced medicine in his mother's clinic. Four years ago, his mother died, and Eric left Gaza and his whereabouts are unknown... As for his visit to the United States this time, the reason is unknown.

Based on the current known situation, it can be inferred that Eri has been recruited as a terrorist by Hamas, of course it is also possible that it was arranged by Mossad.

However, with Abby and Alam's continued efforts, several hours of online searching did not reveal any trace of this Eri. This not only proves that he is good at hiding his whereabouts, but also shows that there is a strong law enforcement agency behind the scenes to cover up his tracks, which indirectly confirms that his identity is indeed suspicious.

Kerry knew what Eric was going to do. There was no need to rush at this time. It was useless to catch this guy in advance. The right choice was to let him trouble himself and then kill him in the end!
-
In the afternoon, Nawabi said hello to Donald, left the post office early, and went to meet her former colleague and ex-lover Willy - she had passed the message to Mossad in the morning, and there should be a reply by now.

Almost at the same time, FBI's current Counter-Terrorism Director Fennell came to SER accompanied by Cooper, found Donald, and told him that Eric's real identity was an undercover agent of Mossad, and that he was currently working with the FBI Counter-Terrorism Division to stop a group of Hamas members' special operations in the United States.

"Special operation?" Donald remembered what Kerry said and didn't completely believe what Fener said. "I need to know what kind of operation this is? What's the goal? What's your purpose? Moreover, I should also know what good reasons you had to allow Eri to carry out such an attack yesterday!"

Donald's actual administrative level now is also at the department level. He is not afraid of the other party's identity at all. If the matter cannot be explained clearly, he will not agree to let Eric go!
Fenel looked a little embarrassed. He knew that what Eri did this time was too extreme, but in order to prevent the "big operation" later, he could only grit his teeth and take the responsibility. He tried to explain: "Director Lesler, we and Mossad have been planning and implementing this operation for nearly a year..." "I admit that Eri went a little too far this time, but his purpose was to gain the trust of Hamas in order to obtain accurate operational intelligence..."

"So, I came here this time to explain this misunderstanding. I hope that SER will relax its pursuit of Eri, so that he can move safely in the Hamas action group and get the intelligence we need..."

Cooper came with Fennell, but he was not satisfied with his style of doing things. He did not say anything to support the proposal, but just drank his coffee - on the one hand, he showed that he did not support the proposal, and on the other hand, he also showed that he would not interfere with Donald's performance of his duties.

"Director Fener, what you said didn't answer my question." Donald said unhappily, "What I want to know is what is the purpose of your action?"

"This..." Fener hesitated, not knowing whether to say it out loud... In the end, he just said: "The information Eri gave us is that this group of Hamas has eight to ten people, and they are planning a very serious terrorist attack, but we don't know what it is yet..."

What? Donald was annoyed. He knew nothing, but the Counter-Terrorism Division believed the undercover agent based on his words and helped him to attack the federal law enforcement agencies. Is this funny?
Cooper beside him couldn't help it and said, "Director Fener, do you know what you are talking about? You don't even know what the next action is, yet you dare to cover up this Hamas member's attack in the country! What if this Eri pretends to cooperate with you and actually carries out a terrorist attack, and finally succeeds under your cover... Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Fener was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No! Eri is a secret agent of Mossad and will not betray Israel. In other words, he will not harm us Americans..."

Cooper and Donald looked at each other, both a little surprised - how did such a person become the head of the counter-terrorism department? Does the United States rely on its allies for counter-terrorism security? Can allies be fully trusted? Is Fennell really so naive or is he deliberately condoning something, or is he himself a participant?
——After a series of previous events, they would not easily believe what the senior executives of other departments said. They would look at their performance, and now they have become wary of Fenel.

Donald was about to speak when he heard his cell phone ring. He took it out and saw that it was Kerry! He stood up and walked away for a few steps. After answering the call, he came back and said, "Director Fener, we can suspend the pursuit of Eric, but we hope to get the latest information as soon as possible..."
