Asad Ali

Asad Ali is the eldest son of Syed Ali. He was 11 at the time on Day 2 and turned 12 the following week. however, he almost didn't make it to his twelth birtday because Jack Bauer had to hold Asad. his younger brother and his mother hostage and used them as leverage against Syed Ali to find the location of the nuclear bomb. Jack had no other choice but to use Syed Ali's family as he was willing to take his own life. He made Syed Ali believe thatAsad had been killed, but it was later revealed that it was faked and Asad was still alive. This ploy had to be used as there as no other way to find the bomb.
