[[:Category:{{{Images}}}|Images]]

Tariq (Arabic: طارق) was Sayid's superior in the Republican Guard, during Desert Storm. When US forces enter a bunker, he orders the destruction of numerous documents. He is captured alongside Sayid.

He was interrogated on the whereabouts of a US pilot but refuses to answer. This leads Inman to attempt to convince Sayid to torture him for the information. He encourages Sayid by telling him that Tariq was resposible for spreading nerve gas on Sayid's hometown.

Sayid eventually gives in and tortures him with a set of tools given by Inman. Tariq revealed that the captured US pilot was killed.

During his interrogation, Tariq accuses Sayid of being a disgrace to his uniform and orders him to kill himself. Given his strong opinions on this subject, and the fact that Sayid continues to serve in the Republican Guard after this period, it is reasonable to assume that Tariq never returned to service (at least in good standing), instead being killed or remaining in allied captivity.
