AL-ALAWI. A Middle Eastern nation that was engaged in peace talks with the United States in early 1983. The Al-Alawi Ambassador was almost assassinated during the talks by the American Ambassador, Brian Hassel. Hassel was a Cobra agent, planted in the state department years earlier. Hassel shot the ambassador seconds before the G.I. Joe team member Scarlett could stop him. The ambassador survived thanks to a bullet-proof vest. Explaining why he had the vest on, the ambassador stated: "In my land, assassinations are a fact of life!"
