Season 6 deals with terrorist Abu Fayed, and his intention to detonate a series of nuclear bombs across the United States.

Jack has been under Chinese arrest since the end of season 5 but he is released after now President, Wayne Palmer, former President David’s brother agrees with Fayed to exchange Bauer for Hamri-Al-Assad who CTU believe to be the main person behind these threats.

But Jack finds out Al-Assad is actually trying to stop the attacks and after escaping he rescues Assad before stopping a subway bombing.

CTU then realise that these previous attacks before are just there to distract them from his main objective of the nuclear bombs.

But one bomb is detonated, killing an initial 12,000 in Valencia, north of Los Angeles.

Phillip Bauer

Former President, Charles Logan is then brought into the day’s events after Bauer realised his dad and brother Phillip and Graem are behind the attacks.

Logan insists his links with the Russians can lead them to Dmitri Gredenko, a name given by Al-Assad.

Many are not pleased by President Palmer’s reaction after asking Assad to make a speech to his people, and his deputy Chief Head of Staff plans to assassinate the President and frame Al-Assad.

But Chief of Staff Tom Lennox tries to stop the attempt but fails and President Palmer is left in a bad state, with Assad dead as well.

Vice President Noah Daniels steps in with Palmer unable to continue.

Logan’s contact fails to give him Gredenko so Jack resorts to breaking into the Russian Consulate and forces Anatoly Markov to reveal Gredenko’s whereabouts

However Jack is then arrested as he tries to tell CTU, but when he does tell them he is too late and a drone is released, but fortunately a breach in CTU enables them to locate the drone and Jack crash lands it.
