Small Question on COD4 Storyline..

[soulslicer]

According to the storyline:

Act 1

A Russian Ultranationalist by the name of Imran Zakhaev is set on returning his homeland to the times of the Soviet Union by revolting against the current government and seizing a nuclear weapons stockpile. Zakhaev has the support of several rogue divisions of the Russian army. He funds a coup d'etat in the Middle East organized by his ally Khaled Al-Asad, beginning with the televised execution of the President Yasir Al-Fulani, to draw attention away from Russia. The British and U.S. governments discover the plot while monitoring Zakhaev's recent activities, and quickly initiate a police-action to stop the uprisings in both regions.

Soon after President Al-Fulani is executed, 22nd SAS is deployed to rescue their compromised informant, held in an Ultranationalist camp in Russia, with help from Russian Loyalist forces led by Sergeant Kamarov. Before they can reach base in Hamburg, the squad is shot down over Central Russia, and must get to a nearby landing zone for evacuation. An AC-130 gunship is dispatched to provide fire support for the team until they are evacuated in the mission "Death From Above".

Meanwhile, Sgt. Paul Jackson and USMC 1st Force Recon attempt to capture Al-Asad in a raid, but they are unsuccessful. Lt. Vasquez's platoon is then tasked with rescuing a stranded M1 Abrams tank named "War Pig". The USMC pushes Al-Asad's forces back to the capital city, where Al-Asad is broadcasting from a television station. In the television station, Jackson rendezvous with a Marine squad. Both squads storm the station only to find a recording of Al-Asad's voice. During what appears to be the final stages of the conflict, a Russian nuclear weapon is unexpectedly detonated, leveling most of the capital and annihilating most U.S. Marine forces in the area. Jackson and Lieutenant Vasquez, delayed from escaping the blast radius due to the last minute rescue of a downed AH-1 Super Cobra pilot, are aboard one of the helicopters caught in the blast radius. Jackson was the only soldier out of his squad to survive the crash of his CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter, but dies from radiation poisoning in conjunction with wounds sustained in the crash.

Who is this Russian person planning this coupe against Russia. How does he relate with Al-Assad, and why is Al-Assad having the another coup within his own country? Also, why is the nuke detonated within the Middle Eastern Country itself. Also, who exactly is this Nikoli. I haven't completed the game so don't spoil me too much..

Sorry for the double post, i edited quite a bit and rephrased my question

 

[Bad^Hat]

You've gone to that much trouble to research the plot but you couldn't just spend six hours tops finishing the game?

 

[soulslicer]

Yes, because I don't want to play the game without understanding the storyline properly..

 

[Kyorisu]

The game explains the storyline. Sheesh.

Who is this Russian person planning this coupe against Russia- That is Imran Zakhaev leader of the Russian Ultranationalists.

How does he relate with Al-Assad- He is supplying Al-Assad with Nukes.

why is Al-Assad having the another coup within his own country- He has enough money and support to take over so why not.

why is the nuke detonated within the Middle Eastern Country itself- To kill Americans, make Al-Assad a hero and to make the British and Americans think he is dead. The Americans had made it to the palace and Al-Assad fighters knew they were being defeated so they detonated the nuke as a last stance.

who exactly is this Nikoli- he is an informant in the Ultranationalists and gives you critical information which i won't spoil.
