Aggressor

In the Middle East, following the Gulf War of 1991, unknown terrorists kidnap a Russian delegation visiting Syria and the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia and his staff. Three men come together to find and rescue these hostages: Col. Ulm, a US special operations officer, his Russian counterpart, Col. Sabanov, and Tom Girling, correspondent for a British news magazine. Girling may have the clue to the abductions and those responsible, information from a journalist friend in the Middle East who has told him about a powerful group calling themselves "e;Angels of Judgment"e; and their leader, "e;The Sword."e; But very little is known about this group, and the correspondent who provided the information has disappeared himself. Girling has much more than a journalistic interest in terrorism - his wife was killed by a band of terrorists as he was forced to watch, helpless to try to prevent her death.
