On April 24, 2031, multiple terrorist attacks occured simultaneously across the globe, including assassination attempts of the leaders of the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Russia, Brazil, China, Japan, Egypt, India, Australia, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland. Some were successful, and some were foiled.
By the end of the month, a death count was been estimated to be between 20 and 25 million individuals. Most of the terrorists were killed before they could be taken hostage, and those who were apprehended were murdered in prison before they could be interrogated. No identification, criminal or dental records could be found for any of those involved. The only identifying mark common to all was a small tattoo of a stylized snake head behind their left ear.
With intelligence agencies worldwide struggling to piece together what had happened, the United Nations finally decided to take action after years sitting on the sidelines. By an 80% majority, the member states of the UN vote to establish an elite special missions group under the command of the recently expanded Security Council. The nature of this group would be kept secret even from the member nations' representatives to ensure security.
This group would have the authority to act within any nation's sovereign territory to ensure world peace and human rights, even if that meant toppling the current government of a member nation. They would not be subject to international law in their activities.
Their first priority was to track down and destroy the group responsible for the April 24, 2031 terrorist attacks, now known as Black Thursday.
Thus was born UN Special Task Force 1. Code Name: G.I. Joe.
