The final attack in Asia occurs at 8:46 PM Beijing time. A car bomb is detonated in the center of Tiananmen Square. Suddenly, fifty armed gunmen emerged and begin firing at civilians, killing 90 people. The gunmen storm the gates of the Forbidden City, killing the Chinese Police and guards defending the region. 

As the Chinese Military is called into the area, the gunmen took over 350 people hostage and proceeded to light the Forbidden City on fire with Molotov Cocktails and other flammable liquids. When the People's Liberation Army arrives, it results in a gunfight between the military and the terrorists., with the PLA eventually coming out on top. 

But... the terrorists planted a powerful explosion that detonated, killing half of the hostages as the rest died from smoke and gunfire. The damage was devastating as the Forbidden City was in flames with the Hall of People burned to the ground. 

In the end, Al-Qaeda claims responsibility for the attack on the Forbidden City as they claimed on several Chinese news broadcast. 

In the span of several hours, seven cities in Asia were under attack by an unknown number of terrorists, all connecting to Al-Qaeda. It wasn't until after they received reports from the US and Europe that it was a huge conspiracy to kill civilians and wage war with the rest of the world. Not just the United States.... 

But the attacks across the globe is far from over.....
