## 2004 Events in the JAG/NCIS Universe

* The NCIS Hostage Crisis takes place with future terrorist Ari Haswari taking Dr. Donald Mallard, Gerald Jackson and NCIS Special Agent Caitlin Todd hostage, prompting NCIS to be evacuated while NCIS Special Agents Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Anthony DiNozzo attempt to launch a rescue operation. The resulting operation succeeds although Ari (unidentified at the time) manages to escape while Gibbs is left wounded after being shot. Although he recovers, Gibbs subsequently develops a strong grudge against the terrorist and vows to uncover the terrorist's true identity.
* Gibbs eventually discovers that the terrorist is Ari Haswari, an agent working for Hamas.
* Gibbs and Ari meet each other in the NCIS morgue and Gibbs subsequently shoots Ari in the right shoulder in revenge for Ari shooting Gibbs in the shoulder a few months earlier.
* Having previously been assigned to the Norfolk Naval Base, NCIS Agent Timothy McGee is later promoted to a full-time Field Agent and subsequently joins the NCIS Major Case Response Team on a permanent basis, resulting in the team now harboring four members.
* Raza Parsa and Sabeen Parsa are killed in a drone strike in Pakistan. This prompts their son, Benham Parsa to become a terrorist as he seeks revenge against those responsible.
