Morsetania

It was a dark and bloody day in the young nation of Morsetania today as Islamic radicals staged a series of attacks in the village of Clarion, burning down two churches and a synagogue, raiding the home of prominent gay rights activist Henri Baumgartner and murdering him, and killing countless innocent bystanders and police as they rampaged through the town.
The radicals, all members of the highly controversial Jihad Party, seek the establishment of their own, seperate Islamic state in the mountainous eastern region of Morsetania.
The Jihad Party, classified by the United Nations as a terrorist organization, was excluded from participation in Morsetania's provisional government by the country's founder and acting president Andrew Morse.
Several of the party's top officials were recently deported from Morsetania after the group claimed responsibility for a car bombing in the capital city of Androvia, which killed three Morsetanian soldiers, as well as the wife and stepson of the nations vice president.
In response to the terrorist attacks, Morse declared a state of emergency in all of Morsetania and sent army special forces into the east of the country to search for the individuals responsible.
Morse also called up 1,500 reserve troops and placed them at the nation's borders.
All of Morse's opponents in the upcoming presidential election condemned the terror attacks, save for one. Mary Kaspalanez, the Socialist Democratic Party candidate, called the Islamic radicals "An oppressed voice simply speaking out against the right-wing status quo." She called Morse's military call-up "An egregious act which violates all standards of human decency."
As a rocket-propelled grenade launcher fired off behind her, blowing up a police car and killing two of her own campaign workers, Kaspalanez, who trails Morse in the polls by a whopping 72 percentage points, called for the immediate resignation of the interim president. She then went on to call Morse "the worst despot since Hitler." and called his policies toward the Islamic extremists "racist".
"This is a truly dark day in our history," said a visibly distraught Morse. "I thought the days of such violence and bloodshed would be over once our war of independence was ended."
"Such senseless acts will not be tolerated," he continued.
Stay tuned for more details as this deadly story continues to unfold.
