”The time is at hand, my friends... Now we shall see if Shen was telling the truth.
—Ghassan al-Bitar, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow
The Destruction of the Hadithah Oil Field was a minor conflict in Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow. Following the victory in assaulting the St. Helens to seize Robert Cordell's classified cargo, Ghassan al-Bitar carried out a demonstration to ensure that the device was truly functional.
Events[]
Prelude[]
”A ship is prepared. We can take the device to New York, Los Angeles. With this, we can strike at them anywhere.
No. We will strike at them. But to drive them from our land, we must destroy the reason they are here.
The destruction[]
The conflict itself was short, with Bitar and his thugs presumably planting the X-Z-2 somewhere hidden inside the compound and then retreating. At a safe distance, the terrorist hit a remote, triggering the explosive which wiped out the oil field.
Aftermath[]
”The world is about to change.
—Bitar
With the demonstration a success, Bitar knew that he could change the world. Cordell would later use this as a reason to force Gabe Logan into retirement, explaining how "half the desert" was blown up a few hours after intercepting Logan and Maggie Powers when they landed a Spetsnaz aeroplane. He said that it was "Iraq's largest oil field" and "20 square miles" were gone.[11]
