Übersicht

Highest alert level around the Palais Liechtenstein in Vienna at the international conference of the United Nations. But even these strict precautionary measures cannot prevent the assassination attempt on the arrival of Marcus Sherman (Peter Gilbert Cotton), when the American conference leader and his security people drive up in a black limousine. The bomb was hidden in the car of Kásim Bagdadi (Samy Hassan), an Austrian of Iraqi origin, who was supposed to speak to numerous diplomats and heads of state from all over the world as a representative of the Internet community "Comet".

However, in this case, which attracted a great deal of attention, both of them had to submit to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and Combating Terrorism (BVT), which was also involved in a joint "task force".

And Eisner's daughter Claudia (Tanja Raunig), who knew Kásim personally, begs her father: "He was never a terrorist in his life.
