Jack sneaks through Samuel's compound. There might not be security cameras, but there were guards with guns and walkies to call for reinforcements. At CTU Brad Hammond is on the phone with Nadia Yassir.
.
Nadia: Agent Hoffman's team will be in the compound within the hour.
Brad: Why is Jack Bauer already there, risking the operation?
Nadia: He felt it best to secure the hostage first, with time being limited.
Brad: And you authorized this?
Nadia: I took Jack Bauer's assesment and believed he was correct.
Brad: When you made an erratic agent like Jack Bauer provisional head of field-ops you assured me you could keep him on a tight leash. Bauer will probably fac punishment for helping Henderson escape. He does anything else like that, it could blow up in all our faces.
Nadia: I'm aware of that sir. But I believe Jack can accomplish the mission.

At the compound Jack sees two guards patrolling from a distance. From what he can tell these two seem like friends. He decides to use that to his advantage. President Palmer greets the prime minister of Israel and the president of the Palestinian authority. Both are former hardliners, but have realized peace is best for both their respective peoples. All three go down to the bunker, escorted by secret service. Shari Rothenberg sees them. She has her gun concealed. As the three of them walked together, she knew this was her best chance. Before anyone could react Shari fired her gun at them. Pierce and the other bodyguards quickly rush the leaders away. Agent Molly O'Brien fires her gun, shooting Shari in the head. Shari is instantly killed. As far as Molly can tell, Palmer and the other leaders are secured, although the agents scan for other assasins. The question becomes, how the hell did this assasin gain access?
