Sweetzer Avenue case

The Sweetzer Avenue case was an investigation by the CIA and the newly established Counter Terrorist Unit into the theft of some plastic explosives by Abu Mousa, Omar Abu Risha and Sabah Fakhir, and the discovery of what they were going to be used for.

Capture
Nina Myers of the newly constructed CTU searched for any information that she could find on some terrorists and followed strands outwards to every name she could find. She was not expecting to find anything, but discovered that Abu Mousa's brother, who went to a New Jersey mosque, had changed his name without anyone noticing. They tracked Mousa to a house in Los Angeles located on Sweetzer Avenue and found the plastic explosives. Also living in the house was Omar Abu Risha and Sabah Fakhir.

Interrogation
CIA operative Jack Bauer learnt of a threat coming within 24 hours, but before being able to find out any more information his informant was killed in a bomb that destroyed an apartment and nearly killed Bauer.

He was brought in to CTU and met with Nina Myers, who allowed him entry to Mousa, who he interrogated. Mousa claimed that he did not know they were explosives, and had been asked to look after them by a friend. When Bauer began to get violent, he was pulled out of the room by Ryan Chappelle.

Lead
Jack was contacted by Harry Driscoll, an old friend who worked in the LAPD Robbery-Homocide department. He informed Jack that he had a lead and agreed to take Jack to it.
