Dina Araz
Portrayed by	Shohreh Aghdashloo
Day	4

Dina Araz is a fictional character in the fourth season of the TV series 24.

Dina is seen with her family in day 4. She is affiliated with terrorist attacks and her husband, Navi. Soon Dina and Navi realize that their son, Behrooz, is still talking with an American girl named Debbie, who he is dating despite his being ordered to break up with her. Debbie soon follows Behrooz to a workhouse where the terrorists are. Navi finds out, and orders Behrooz to bring Debbie to the house to find out if she told anyone what she saw. Dina instructs Behrooz to kill Debbie, but Behrooz warns her instead. But it is too late, as Dina had poisoned Debbie's drink and killed her.

When she learns that Behrooz is to be killed because of his actions with Debbie, she breaks down and feels helpless to save him. However, Behrooz calls Dina and tells her how he fended off and killed his would-be killer, and that it was Navi who had ordered his death. She tries to sneak out of the house, but Navi corners her. She is visibly shocked and disgusted that Navi wanted their son dead. She goes to pick him up at the train station and tries to warn Behrooz of his father's intentions and ends up getting shot just in the arm by Navi. Behrooz is able to drive himself and Dina away to safety to a nearby hospital. Dina is later apprehended by CTU, and agrees to help Jack Bauer and Tony Almeida find the override with two conditions: that that she and Behrooz both receive presidential pardons and that Behrooz is protected from his father. They are later taken to CTU. Although at first Dina doesn't cooperate, she eventually shares with CTU information about Habib Marwan and his involvement in the day's attacks.

Later on, she helps Jack Bauer get to Joseph Fayed in order to get to Marwan. But Marwan questions Dina's commitment to their cause, and tells her to kill Jack. Instead, she tries to kill Marwan, but the gun is empty. Accordingly, Dina is killed by Marwan's men.
