Cobra Strike

At 0800 hours the men boarded the MC-130H and headed for the border. It took about ninety minutes for the MC-130H to fly to the coordinates Zakkova gave the pilots. The area at the border was hard packed sand so the MC-130H had no problem landing.
Once the MC-130H landed and came to a stop the men sprang into action. The loadmaster released the handle to the rear cargo door and lowered the ramp so the men could drive the vehicle off of the plane. The MC-130H landed on the border about forty kilometers from Kermanshah. They would drive through the desert to Kermanshah to avoid any check points. At Kermanshah they would get on the main roads that would take them to Qom. It would be about an eight hour drive to Qom. That meant that they would arrive at Qom at about 01500 hours, which was a good time because most of the scientists and workers would be taking a dinner break. That would mean less eyes to scrutinize what they were going to do.
The men arrived at Qom on schedule and pulled up to the main gate of the complex. There were two guards at the gate. The men stopped their vehicle at the gate and waited for the guards to come and see what they wanted.
In perfect Farsi with no accent Zakkova told the main guard, “Good morning comrade. We have Dr. Ibn with us who has some very important equipment to deliver and set up for the centrifuges.”
The guard was immediately taken aback by their Quds uniforms and the immense size of Zakkova and the fact that he was posing as a four star general.
“Good morning. Do you have the proper documentation to gain entrance to the facility,” asked the guard.
“Yes we do. It is signed by President Ahmadinejad himself,” said Zakkova as he passed the forged documents to the guard.
The guard read the documents carefully and then looked inside the vehicle to make sure nothing was amiss. He looked at Dr. Ibn dressed in a white lab coat and was satisfied that he was indeed an Iranian scientist. He then inspected the cargo very carefully to make sure there we no hidden explosives attached to it.
“What is in the cabinet?” asked the guard.
“We can’t give you much detail because it is highly classified. We can tell you, though, that the device will speed up the enrichment process by almost 100%. That means we should have enough enriched uranium to build our first nuclear weapon way ahead of schedule, which praise Allah we will use it to destroy Israel.”
“Amen to that brother. Okay, you are cleared to enter the facility. We will remotely open the steel doors in the mountain from here so you can drive into the complex. You will need to know the cipher lock combination and your thumbprints and retinas must match the thumbprint and retina scans in the data base before you can enter the elevator to take you down the centrifuges. Once you are thirty floors underground you will take a long hallway to get the centrifuges. I take it that you know the cipher lock combination and that your thumbprint and retina scans are in the database. Only one person at a time can go through the doors. There are scanners in the door frame that will detect multiple persons trying to pass through the doorway at once. If that happens, an alarm will go off and the door will shut and all of the security measures will lock up so no one else can enter the facility.”
‘Yes, we understand the protocols and we have all been cleared to enter the facility,” said Zakkova.
“Well, then, you are cleared to enter. Good luck with setting up your device. I hope it works.”
“It will work for sure. We have done extensive testing with it. It won’t take long to set up. We should be back within twenty minutes.”
The men’s vehicle entered the complex and headed for the steel doors in the mountain. When they got within twenty feet of the doors they opened to a loading dock and the elevator that would take them down to the centrifuges. There were no guards on duty inside the loading dock, which made their entry that much easier.
They backed the vehicle up to the loading dock to make unloading the heavy cabinet much easier.
Once the men unloaded the cabinet, they went to the service elevator and withdrew three devices that Jake at Inverse Technologies gave Zakkova. The first device was a designed for the keypad cipher. It would quickly process thousands of numbers until it came up with the cipher combination. Zakkova put the device over the keypad and it almost immediately found the correct sequence of numbers and keyed them in. The cipher lock was now unlocked. Next, Zakkova placed a device over the thumbprint scanner. This device would hack into the database and provide a thumbprint image of the last person who placed their thumb on the scanner. A green light flashed on indicating that the thumbprint was valid. The last device worked similar to the thumbprint device. It also hacked into the database and retrieved the last retina scan and scanned it into the scanner. Another green light flashed on indicating a valid retina scan. With all security measures met, a green light came on top of the elevator and the door opened. Sammy was the first person through. Zakkova repeated the process for each of the remaining men of the team and for himself. They were all in the elevator now and pushed the thirty buttons to take the elevator down to the centrifuges.
When they got to the thirtieth floor, the door opened and there was a long hallway like the guard said. They moved quickly down the hallway and opened the door to the room where the centrifuges were. There were 10,000 centrifuges churning away. None of the people paid much attention to Zakkova and his men. They were too involved with what they were doing to care. Shalom wheeled the cabinet into the middle of the room and placed it next to another large piece of test equipment. The men went back down the hallway to the elevator and took it back to the loading dock on the first floor. They stopped on every fifth floor to put a signal booster on the wall outside of the elevator to make sure the cell phone signal would penetrate thirty floors underground to the detonator on the Semtex. These where small two inch by two inch gray plastic devices that had adhesive backs on them. They also put a larger one on the outside of the main door to the building to penetrate the steel core door. Jake at Inverse Technologies had provided these to Zakkova and his men. When they got to the ground floor they got into their vehicle and drove back to the main gate.
“Okay men, we need to take these guards out so they can’t identify us later. Sammy, Mark be ready when we stop to put a bullet in the heads of each guard,” says Zakkova.
When they got to the gate, the two guards came out of the of the guard house to meet them. The guards approached the vehicle on each side. Sammy shot the guard on the driver’s side with his silenced Desert Eagle pistol. This gun shot 50 caliber hollow point bullets so one shot to the head literally blew the head off the guard. At the same time, Mark shot the guard on the passenger’s side of the vehicle with his silenced SIG P226 pistol. Both guards were now dead.
“Damn Sammy, that gun is a fucking canon. It can do some real damage,” said Zakkova.
“Yeah man, the bigger the better is what I always say. I love this baby.”
“Okay Shalom, let’s set off the Semtex and blow this place to pieces. And Mark, make sure you get a good video of this.”
“Shalom pushed the three key on the cell phone twice. The explosion was loud and devastating. The shock wave lifted the vehicle off of the ground about ten inches. The steel doors were blown off the side of the mountain and then the whole mountain collapsed. There were flames and...
