Trivia:

The first cell phone that rings in the café with the suicide bomber has "Suicide is painless", the theme song from "M*A*S*H" (1972) as its ring-tone.

Goofs:

Continuity: When the Tactical team are viewing schematic diagrams of the SUV, they are looking at a drawing of a Range Rover (clearly shows the vertical vents ahead of the front doors). The car that the character is actually in is a Range Rover Sport, which is a different model.
