Who Was The Secret Service Protection In Criminal Minds

"	Don't give thanks me. Thank your partner. He did it all.	"
	— Abner

Ben Abner (maybe a fake name) was a terrorist, cop killer, bomber, and mass murderer who was a member of a terrorist cell. He appeared in the Season Iv episode of Criminal Minds, "Mayhem".

Groundwork

Not much is known nigh Abner, and even the legitimacy of his name is put into question. What is known is that he worked as a paramedic and therefore was chosen by the terrorist jail cell to assassinate the U.S. regime official they were targeting, who was hospitalized in the same hospital he worked at.

Mayhem

Abner ambushes Underground Service agents in the hospital elevator.

Abner is first seen when he drives his ambulance past a police force battlement that is set up up in fears of an ambush bombing and arrives at the scene of an SUV bombing that injured Hotch and severely wounded SSA Kate Joyner, both of whom are investigating the terrorist prison cell along with the residual of the BAU. Abner takes them to a nearby infirmary, which is currently airtight off by Secret Service agents guarding the authorities official. Hotch convinces the agents to let the ambulance enter, and doctors attend to Joyner while Abner goes missing. The rest of the BAU get in at the hospital and somewhen deduce the cell's existent target, as well every bit Abner being the one with the responsibility of detonating a flop in the hospital. Abner goes to the garage with the bomb, killing four Secret Service agents forth the way, and loads the bomb into his ambulance. Morgan, withal, manages to steal the ambulance and drive away from the hospital. Distraught at his failure, Abner detonates the bomb anyway, just Morgan is able to jump out of the ambulance afterward taking it into an empty area. Immediately afterward, Abner commits suicide by slashing his throat with a pocketknife.

Modus Operandi

During Abner's known killings, he shot four Hugger-mugger Service agents with a 9mm Beretta 92FS handgun. He then attempted to detonate a flop that was loaded inside an ambulance vehicle, but the attack failed when Morgan took the bomb into an empty park.
