A nerve gas was manufactured in Kahndaq, then shipped to the United States for Gholem Qadir.[3]
An extremist sect named Onslaught kidnapped a class of girls and killed their teacher.[4] They also went on to execute a number of men in the capital city, Shiruta.[5] Sometime later, the Suicide Squad came in to eliminate members of Onslaught. They took a member of the sect to interrogate.[1] They found Khem-Adam and various soldiers in the Amon-Shu Caves in the Ahk-Ton Desert, where a fight ensued. During the fight, Bronze Tiger was killed, the kidnapped girls were saved and Khem-Adam was taken by The Canary and Nyssa al Ghul.[6]
