The terrorist is randomly positioned somewhere in the city. Sometime, somewhere during game play the terrorist will spawn and wait. You’ll hear Salieri’s voice say “Kill that bastard Tom” and then the compass will appear in the top left corner of the screen. Use the compass to find the terrorist. It will lead you to him. The compass will remain on the screen for 4 minutes, after that it will disappear. If you have not yet found the terrorist in that time then you will have to be very careful because the terrorist will be wandering the streets like an ordinary pedestrian. And if you happen to walk or drive into the area where he is lurking, he will run toward you and blow himself up.
You can use the in-game map to locate him. His location will appear as a blue cross on the map. (default key - Tab) The terrorist will also appear on the car radar as a red cross. You can use both the in-game map and the car radar to locate his whereabouts for the duration the compass is in the left corner of the screen (4 minutes). Once the compass disappears you will no longer see his location either on the in-game map or using the car radar.

The terrorist is disguised as a normal civilian so he’s hard to spot in a crowd of people. Sometime’s you will recognize the terrorist because he’s holding dynamite, other times he will have his explosives concealed on him so he will look like an ordinary civilian and he won’t pull out his bomb until the final moment before he gets next to you.

Note: Your bodyguards can kill the terrorist if they see him, but if they don’t know he’s a threat and carrying a weapon then they won’t attack him. In other words if the terrorist runs toward you and the bodyguards don’t see the dynamite (bomb) in his hand they will not shoot at him. Nevertheless when the terrorist pulls out the dynamite just before he detonates it, the bodyguards will realize that he is an enemy but by then it will be too late for them to react and kill him.

The model of the terrorist will change to that of a different model at random intervals. It could happen sooner or it could happen later? This means that for some players the model "may" change more often than for others, either way the entertaining result from this is that players may not be able to agree on what model the terrorist really is, as the model he is in your game may be totally different from somebody else`s game. Is he a man or a woman? How is he or she dressed?

The blast from the terrorist’s bomb does the same damage as the blast of a super dynamite bomb which means if he manages to commit suicide beside you, you will die.

And finally you are rewarded with $15,000 for every terrorist you kill.

If you successfully kill the terrorist he may reappear again sometime during game play. This is decided randomly. And if you drive to the countryside then return, you reset the terrorist. He may appear anywhere at any time.
