Day 6 starts (and will end at) at 6:00 a.m. Taking place twenty months after the events of Day 5, Jack is released from Chinese custody to CTU agents in Los Angeles under a deal brokered by the new President Wayne Palmer. Jack is then sent to Abu Fayed to be sacrificed, in exchange for information regarding the whereabouts of Hamri Al-Assad, who is thought to have been causing a wave of suicide bombings across America over the last 11 weeks. However, Jack discovers that CTU has bargained with Fayed to hand over the wrong man, leaving the real terrorist (Fayed himself) free to continue his reign of terror upon various U.S. locations. Americans are in a state of panic because of all the attacks, and Jack, with the help of Bill Buchanan, Chloe O’Brian and others at CTU as well as Karen Hayes, Thomas Lennox and President Wayne Palmer in the White House, must stop these terrorists from detonating three Soviet-designed suitcase nuclear weapons as well as provide damage control for one that has already exploded in Valencia and another that almost went off somewhere in middle LA.
