Asim Naseri

Asim Naseri was a terrorist and bodyguard of Ibrahim Bin-Khalid. He infiltrated the terrorist group of Bin-Khalid's son Jadalla during the latter's terrorist campaign in the United States on Day 10.

In the past, Naseri was the bodyguard of Bin-Khalid, but he was hired by Eric Carter's unknowing team as a translator. Eventually, Naseri turned on the team and decapitated the children of a high-value source of intel, making him highly wanted by the team. In reality, Naseri infiltrated Jadalla's group because his father was secretly alive, and Ibrahim wanted to see how well his son did in his supposed absence.

Day 10

During Day 10, Naseri was working alongside Jadalla who had not known that he was his late father's bodyguard. There, at 12917-20 Elsmore, Carter was shocked and enraged to recognize Naseri among the Jihadi soldiers. He swore to Naseri that he would kill him personally for what he had done, but Naseri angrily told him to be quiet. Another of Bin-Khalid's men asked why Carter had called him "Naseri," and he replied that he was clearly delirious from his beating.

At 7:50 p.m., the building was destroyed in an airstrike. Naseri, however, survived, hiding behind a nearby support column as Carter found and apprehended Jadalla. Carter told Thomas Locke that Naseri had been among the terrorists and urged Locke to apprehend him immediately. At the first opportunity, Naseri fled the scene, athletically vaulting over the ruined wall and running behind a responding police cruiser before escaping into the night. ("Day 10: 7:00pm-8:00pm")

Over the course of the next hour, Naseri orchestrated the abduction of Jennifer Marshall, the mistress of CTU head security guard Steven Grant, along with a female accomplice in his attempt to break the arrested Jadalla out of CTU. This gave Naseri enough time to prepare for a raid on CTU National Headquarters to break out Jadalla. Despite Marshall being barely saved by Eric, Naseri successfully leveraged and later killed Grant in an intense firefight. As a result, Naseri managed to not only break Jadalla out but also successfully kidnap Senator John Donovan. As they fled, he succeeded in breaking through a roadblock barricade after slaughtering the officers before driving off into the night. ("Day 10: 8:00pm-9:00pm")

Naseri kept Donovan hostage, and was present when it was revealed to Jadalla that his father was alive. On Bin-Khalid's orders, Donovan was released by Naseri. While Rebecca Ingram walked towards Jadalla in exchange for Donovan's life, Eric shot and killed Jadalla. As the field engulfed in flames, Naseri fired back at Carter, neither hitting the other. ("Day 10: 9:00pm-10:00pm")

Despite Jadalla's death and the fire, Naseri had successfully kidnapped Rebecca. During the next hour, Naseri managed to keep Rebecca barely alive after she failed to slit herself, while preparing for her execution as well. Meanwhile, Naseri's daughter, Ara Naseri, was the target of a capture attempt by Eric Carter (Naseri had presumed Ava had been killed, which fueled his hatred of Americans, but in reality she was kept secluded in a secret location by Donald Simms). This ended with Eric in a standoff with Tony Almeida, dispatched by Simms to capture Ava. ("Day 10: 10:00pm-11:00pm")
