Fort Smith, Federation of North Arkansas
(APW)

A Car bomb has went off in front of the East Gate Southern Baptist Church. Fortunatly there was no one in the church at this early hour. A Note left at Radio Station KNWK stated that the group, separate Branson, demanded independence and will cause the deaths of thousands unless it got its way.

John Hatfield, Supervisor of the Federation Bureau of Investigation, feels that the timing mechanism on the bomb may had caused it to detonate too soon. He says that there are teams in Branson now combing the area. However, his field agents say the local Branson population hates this so-called separatist group so bad that they have actually imprisioned a couple of members of that group. The two separatist had came to the 76 strip promoting separation from the North Arkansas Government. Citizens and business owners, outraged by the two, captured them and took them to a Local jail. Their families refused to pay bail or even assist in getting them out. The FBI said they would be charged with supporting Terrorist activities.

Several other Southern Baptist churches have pitched in to provide additional funds, in addition to insurance monies, to help re-build the church.
