* BoomHeadshot: Saleem gets shot by Gibbs near the end of the episode. He barely has a chance to put on a FlatWhat / OhCrap look before Gibbs' sniper round pierces the window and nails him. He's dead before his body even hits the floor and the sound of the shot is heard. The look on his lifeless face the last time we see it, one of YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe.
** One of his men that was guarding the room comes in the moment he hears the Allied troops storm the compound and begin slaughtering all of Saleem's terrorists, and he gets dropped by another sniper round from Gibbs. The second one that tries to stop Ziva, Tony, and Tim from escaping gets NoKillLikeOverkill when Gibbs shoots him dead with his pistol.


Added DiffLines:

** Cue later at the end of the episode when he tells Saleem he only has thirty seconds left to live. Saleem thinks he's lying, but when reminded of the truth serum he injected into Tony, then he starts sweating, before Gibbs gives him a fatal BoomHeadshot.
