Diaz also recognized this person's identity, and his expression of surprise was even more surprising than Mandy's.
The reason why Team E was wiped out in the first place was that they entered a house rashly, and the purpose of entering the house was to capture Baradur.
That is the person in the photo in front of me!
The investigation lasted for more than a month, with more than 20 major and minor actions in total, and finally it was back to the starting point.
Baradur, who was blown to pieces, jumped out alive again.
It's no wonder that Mandy, who is used to big scenes, lost her composure at this moment.
Eric was attracted by Diaz's exclamation. He came over and was equally surprised when he saw the photo. He couldn't believe it: "This bastard is really not dead?"

After the incident, the FBI and CIA both sent personnel to clean up the explosion site.
The DNA of six members of Team E and the DNA of two Afghan men were accurately identified from the minced body parts of the building wreckage.
The forensic team therefore came to a conclusion.
Balladur, who wore a bomb belt 24 hours a day, and his bodyguard wearing a bomb vest, were killed along with Team E.
This is even after Jason, Long Zhan and Mandy ran to Xinwa to meet the warlord Zad Khan.
From Zaidhan's ambiguous answer, we learned that Balladur might still be alive, and there was no reason why Balladur was the target of the investigation.
Everyone is dead, so there is no point in investigating.
"We are still sure that Baladur is the No. 2 figure in the entire Halani network, but we didn't expect that he is still alive and has hired a murderer to kill Salim," Diaz lamented.
"No, not Balladur."
Mandy shook her head and explained: "In Halani's network system, Balladur has always been the person only responsible for executing orders."
"you mean……"
Diaz stared and guessed: "Nuri Halani wants Salim dead?"
Halani is the most influential armed terrorist leader in the entire Afghanistan and has always been the top target that the US military wants to destroy.
However, the investigation against Halani has been going on for many years, but there is no trace of Halani at all.
"Yes, that's right. If it is confirmed that Baladur hired Abu Ali to assassinate Salim, it must be because Halani asked him to do so." Mandy affirmed.
"That is to say..."
Eric suddenly understood and said with great surprise: "The person behind the design of the trap to attack Team E is probably Nouri Halani.
This big fish we have been chasing for many years is finally coming to the surface, which is good news."
A serious problem that has troubled the U.S. military for many years has emerged, and the conspiracy to destroy Team E has finally been revealed.
If Halani can be caught, it will definitely be a great achievement.
At that time, all personnel involved in the operation will receive very generous monetary and honorary rewards, and there will be no more obstacles for Eric to break through the "Major".
With such a big temptation in front of him, it's no wonder Eric is so happy.
"When was the last time we photographed Baradur?"
Diaz has always wanted to become an officer from a non-commissioned officer, and she secretly began to study related courses on her own a year ago. She also needs the blessing of great merit, and she is also eager to give it a try.
"Many, many years ago." Mandy smiled.
"Sir, this is a rare opportunity. I think it is necessary for us to catch him before he runs back to the tribe and hides."
Diaz just spoke to Eric's heart. Eric immediately picked up the radio and ordered: "B1, this is the combat center. I need you to go back immediately. We have a new target..."
Jason was feeling depressed and annoyed after catching a useless errand boy.
When he heard that things were about to turn around, he immediately turned around and returned to the trading location. He got out of the car and formed an assault formation to enter the house where Balladur was staying.
Although the operations center and Team B responded quickly enough, Balladur was too cautious.
Team B rushed to the location shown by Eric. Baradur and his men, who were originally on the balcony, had long since disappeared without a trace.
Without arresting anyone, Team B had no choice but to return without success, and returned to the headquarters conference room for a meeting in despair.
The fact that the person was not caught and the target was alerted meant that the plan completely failed.
If you can still laugh and laugh, then there is a real problem.
Mandy could feel the demoralization of people. She still had to tell the information that needed to be told, and she had to find a way to find "hope" in it.
"Hamid Gul Baladur, friend and protector of members of the Halani network, god of death for others."
Mandy took down Baradur's photo from the bottom of the mission clue board and pasted it to the top representing the core investigation objective.
Then he told everyone: "He has planned many terrorist attacks. There is no specific group of people. Journalists, Afghan officials, coalition forces and us are all his targets."
Nuri Halani is the leader of Baladur, an influential terrorist leader and a descendant of a long-standing warlord in Afghanistan.
In the past hundreds of years, his family has controlled large areas of Nangahar, Paktia, and Khost provinces.
The funny thing is……"
Mandy smiled self-deprecatingly and paused for a few breaths before continuing: "Halani's father has always been an important ally of the U.S. government. He was killed by the Soviets in 1986, and when Halani took over power, everything began to change.
Under the leadership of Halani, a huge network headed by him was built and various criminal activities were started.
They privately kill civilians who do not cooperate with them, illegally purchase large quantities of weapons to form private armies, assassinate journalists and officials who expose their actions, and forcibly charge high protection fees to all companies within their control areas.
All kinds of violent and terrorist acts can be said to be all kinds of evil.
We have always wanted to take down this Hanali network, but Halani never comes out of his tribal territory, so this cannot be carried out."
