Taking Popov there turns out to have been a fatal miscalculation by the conspirators. Interrogation reveals Popov's involvement, and Brightling brings him to Horizon's secret base in Kansas. While two Rainbow operatives are killed and several others wounded in an ambush, Rainbow teams manage to retake the building without civilian casualties and capture some of the terrorists. He persuades breakaway members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army to take over a hospital near Rainbow's base and take Clark and Chavez's wives hostage. He is later tasked by Brightling and Henriksen to orchestrate an attack on Rainbow in order to prevent them from being deployed to the Sydney Olympics. Popov, unaware of the Project, discovers the existence of Rainbow as he reviews the responses to his attacks, and brings it to Brightling's attention. The 'chosen few', having been provided with the real vaccine, would then be allowed to inherit the emptied world. The resulting epidemic would kill millions, and Horizon would distribute a 'vaccine' that actually contains a slow-acting version of the virus itself, which would then kill the rest of the world's population. Since people from virtually every country in the world are present at the Olympics, infecting them would ensure the swift worldwide spread of the virus. From within the Olympics security apparatus, Henriksen plans to use a bioweapon containing the Shiva virus, a strengthened form of the Ebola virus that had been used by Iran in its biological attack on the U.S. John Brightling, a staunch environmentalist who heads a biotechnology firm called the Horizon Corporation, ordered the attacks through ex- KGB officer Dmitriy Popov in order to raise awareness against terrorism, which would then allow co-conspirator Bill Henriksen's security firm to land a key contract during the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Unbeknownst to them, the first two attacks are part of a master plan to wipe out nearly all of the human race, codenamed 'the Project'. They are then deployed to a hostage situation in an amusement park in Spain, where a group of French terrorists have taken a group of children hostage and demand that various prisoners, including Carlos the Jackal, be released.Д¬lark and his colleagues become suspicious about the sudden rise in terrorist attacks. Several weeks later, they are deployed to Austria, where a group of left-wing German terrorists have taken over the schloss of a wealthy Austrian businessman in order to obtain 'special access codes' to the international trading markets. Clark serves as the commanding officer, his son-in-law Domingo Chavez leads one of the two squads, and the second in command is Special Air Service (SAS) officer Alistair Stanley.ДЇor their first deployment, Chavez's squad rescues hostages during a bank robbery in Bern, Switzerland. Based in Hereford, England, the unit consists of two operational squads composed of elite soldiers from NATO countries, and is supplemented by intelligence and technological experts from MI6, Mossad, and FBI. CIA operative John Clark forms a secret multi-national counter-terrorist unit known as Rainbow.
