Is Ali a Killer or a Patriot?
“Aha, just as I was expecting.” He scratched his head, and then looked at Kelly. “Well, I understand your fears and concerns. But if you see it that he was fooled by those who sent him, then, it might begin to make sense to you.”
“Fooled?” Kelly asked, unsatisfied.
“Yes, See Kelly, as far as I know, no country loves to have enemies who hinder their growth—no country, even yours. Your country has the CIA, FBI, cops, and that’s what they do; they fish out the enemies of the state. Ali thought he was doing the same. Given the situations, you might do the likewise. You would stay and watch your countrymen, the commons, die for no just cause? Dear, you are a lawyer. You will be forced to act. Ali is a patriot, and he too like you, seeks the wellbeing of his countrymen. So when he was asked to offer his service, he gladly did, though in a non-democratic manner. All of those whom he had killed were bad men, criminals. He didn’t know that the leaders of the Supreme Party were actually using his services to clean up their shady deals. He is not a killer in the sense that you are thinking and he is certainly not a terrorist. And those who he had killed were actually involved in illegal activities. Talk of money laundering! So, he might be a killer, but he certainly is a good man. You can see that they have also made an attempt on his life too.” Mohammed hoped his message had found Kelly well.
“Money laundering? Well, maybe I didn’t consider all those. But he has to stop. I think he should.”
“I hope so too,” Mohammed breathed.
