Edit
The attacks of Day 5 started as an elaborate conspiracy orchestrated by the government of the United States led by Alan Wilson, President Charles Logan, and a group of businessman that included Christopher Henderson and Graem Bauer to sell canisters of Sentox nerve gas to Russian separatists, but then activate the gas at their base. However, when terrorist Vladimir Bierko found out about their plan, he decided to use the gas on American soil.

Day 6
Edit
The initial attacks on Day 6 were the culmination of a chain of attacks that terrorist Abu Fayed had begun 11 weeks earlier against the United States. The attempt on Wayne Palmer was planned by Reed Pollock and Bruce Carson, who strongly believed that Palmer was deeply misguided for his plan to negotiate with Hamri Al-Assad and too weak in the face of Fayed's wave of terror.

Day 7
Edit
The early attacks of Day 7 were orchestrated by Iké Dubaku with the intention of coercing President Allison Taylor into aborting an American invasion into his country of Sangala. When he failed, Benjamin Juma himself decided to siege the White House. After this was thwarted, Juma's business ally, Jonas Hodges, threatened to attack the US with a lethal pathogen if the President didn't favor Starkwood's business in the defense of the country. Alan Wilson and the Prion variant cabal emerged later with the remains of the pathogen as a threat to United States and its people.

Day 8
Edit
The attacks during Day 8 were thought to be orchestrated by a Kamistan splinter cell led by Samir Mehran working within the US.

It was later revealed that the whole scheme was devised by the Russian government, including President Yuri Suvarov, to prevent the treaty negotiations.

Day 2
Edit
- After the nuclear bomb exploded on the Mojave Desert during Day 2, a riot ensued in the city of Marietta in Atlanta, Georgia. Rioters were attacking several Islamic communities and it resulted in two fatalities: a racist leader and a young boy.
Day 3
Edit
- During the first hours of Day 3, there was a bioterrorist threat involving the release of the Cordilla virus, which was being carried by a teenager named Kyle Singer. However, it was revealed that the threat was fake and part of an elaborate sting operation orchestrated by Jack Bauer, Tony Almeida, and Gael Ortega to gain access to the real Cordilla virus.
Day 4
Edit
- During Day 4, executives at McLennen-Forster detonated an Electromagnetic pulse bomb to prevent CTU from recovering incriminating information from their computers. The EMP caused a CTU helicopter to crash in the area and triggered a series of riots in downtown LA.
Day 6
Edit
- Abu Fayed orchestrated several terrorist attacks during the 11 weeks prior to Day 6. The reported fatalities of these attacks totalled 900.
- There was a second suitcase nuke, but Jack and CTU got to it in time.
Day 8
Edit
- During Day 8, General David Brucker and White House Chief of Staff Rob Weiss organized an ambush on President Omar Hassan with the intention of kidnapping him and handing him over to a Kamistan splinter cell, and stop them from detonating a radiological device on Manhattan. The ambush was unsuccessful, but still resulted in the death of several Secret Service agents.
