Today the Imperial Congress Building in Empire City was nearly leveled. A van parked on the street exploded with enough force to collapse part of the building. The Imperial Congress Building is where the leaders of Shmur meet daily. There are as many as 5,000 people inside on a normal day. Emperor Archibald is alive and wasn't hurt, he will be addressing the nation soon. There are no causalty numbers released yet. The international terrorist syndicate, the Order of the Cobra is suspected in the bombing.

Emperor Archibald has addressed the nation. He says there are 43 dead, 6 of them were imperial congressmen. The whole area has been sealed off. More dead may be found in the rubble. This is truely a sad day for the Empire of Shmur, we must not let those who wish us harm get away with actions like these.

The television shows Chanistarian people dancing in the streets.

Man: We have heard the glorious news. Finally Shmur is getting what it deserves. Their bullying of smaller nations hasn't gone unnoticed. Perhaps they will leave people like us alone now and realize to stop terrorism they must stop their terroristic behaviour against smaller nations and not blame everything on people like us.

Chanistar: Are you saying Shmur bullies other countries without good reason? if so, then maybe they have gotten what they deserve, but still, death isn't good.
