A team of special forces soldiers are ambushed while doing surveillance on the meeting and one of them is used as a Guinea pig and videotaped so that the whole world will see what is to come and the horrifying power of the virus. A message is sent to America. This is what's waiting for you and the rest of the world if you don't leave the middle east immediately.
