The Abomination

(A work of fiction)

When the national security agencies of allied nations began noticing worrying but vague references to an unspecified major Islamist terrorist attack, information analysts around the world were put on high alert, trying to piece together the fragmentary chatter in an attempt to determine the nature and planned target of the terrorist attack.

Eventually, a Cambridge academic specializing in world religious text and jihadist law helps draw the threads together revealing that a terrorist group known as the Islamic Jihad Union (IJU) is planning to detonate a nuclear device on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

It then falls to Mossad and to the Israeli domestic intelligence service Shin Bet to find the nuclear device before it can be reassembled and detonated, and to hunt down the leaders of IJU. One of the most sought-after men is the Head of IJU and its financier – a shadowy figure known only by the pseudonym he uses – ‘The Teacher’. Mossad’s Chief of Special Ops, Reuben Stern, leads a small team hunting down The Teacher and his senior underling, Hammadi, while Shin Bet searches Israel for IJU operatives within the State of Israel and for the nuclear device.
