"Hamid Al-Zakir is on-site." — The Commander mentioning Al-ZakirHamid Al-Zakir (حميد الذاکر), (sometimes spelled Hamid El Zakir) is a former high-ranking officer who defected from the PLR. He is featured in the co-op campaign of Battlefield 3 in Exfiltration. He wields a Saiga 12K semi-automatic shotgun. Snake 6-6 is tasked with escorting him safely back to the Humvees from his apartment in Baghdad. He relays information about Abu Muhammad and a company in Paris that holds important files detailing the PLR's attack plans.

TriviaEdit

• His head model is identical to Faruk Al-Bashir.
• He is impervious to bullets, explosives, or any other weapon. Thus preventing the player from killing him.
• Like Al-Bashir, Al-Zakir seems to be an Arabic surname, given its "Al-" definite article. This does not exist in Persian, which may be because of the game developer's overlook. Bashiri and Zakiri, however, would work.
• His appearance differs between the GamesCom 2011 co-op demo and the actual game. In the demo, he had a different hairstyle and a beard and mustache. In the actual game, he looks similar to Faruk Al-Bashir as mentioned above.
• He only has 4 lines in the game, all of them being spoken in Persian.
• He always appears to have 50% health on the health bar above him.
• Although he has a Saiga 12K, he never uses it at all in the entire mission, probably due to it being without a magazine, though this could have been overlooked by DICE.
