[Breaking News] Ferry Accident
Breaking News
The Atarium News Network (ANN) has recieved reports of a major ferry accident occuring 30km off the coast of Atriums eastern most state Nataride. The ferry which regularly carries an average of 600 passangers between Atariums capital Atari and it's sister city Grechly lost contact with port authorities around 0900 hours. The vessel is feared to have been the victim of a terrorist attack as fragments of the ship have washed up on PacBeach. Loss of life is feared high.
This statement was issued from the office of President Collins shortly after contact with the ship was lost:
"The ferry boat SI-90 lost contact with port authorites in Atari around 0900 hours this morning, The ports of Atari and Grechly unfortunatly do not have adequate rescue support for such disasters therefore the Nation of Atarium is calling upon the International Community to aid us in any way possible to make the recovery from this atrocity speedy. Thankyou"
We wish to help in any way/ or investigate the accident. Oh, and if the terroist group is TGAK we wish to take over completely.
We Are Here To Help! No Matter what terrorist group it was, we will fight until they are vanquished!- Clint Z.; Commander or the Confederacy of Hangers, reply to us if you need to talk to me, i can help you in any way, my region will help you solve this problem :!: :!: :!: :!: :!:
We''l get'em, and get'em good! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Early reports claim that of the estimated 600 passangers onboard 50 bodies have been recovered and mearly 3 survivors so far.. 2 recue boats on the scene.
Salvage crews would be greatly appreciated, our crisis hotlines are open to all citizens of Atarium who may have information regarding the incident.
Were sending in our top salvage crews to help you in this incident!, My men are currently on the job, and recovering bodies as we speak!
Your help is GREATLY appreciated. Hopefully this initial mess can be cleaned up as soon as possible and a full scale investigation into what exactly happened will follow in the days to come.
After many days of salvage and rescue work ATTA (Atarium Terrorist Tracking Agency) has concluded through information handed over from civilian informants and evidence alike that this horrid terrorist act carried out on Atarium was the work of the TGAK. The government will hand over all investigation from hence forth to Kurlej as was their wish.
Presidential Press Release:
"The President would like to assure the fine people of Atarium that those who have aided in any way with this terrorist act will be found and punished"
The Constitutional Monarchy of Icentom is deeply shocked and outraged at this blatant attack of terrorism. Although we cannot offer any militarial alliances, as we are still a young nationa and lack a fully developed military, we are able and willing to assist Atarium and her allies with food and logistical supplies, should any action take place against these terrorists.
Sincerely,
Petronas James Hendry
King of Icentom

TGAK (Terroist Group against Kurleins) We are now releasing info on TGAk. TGAK is a terroist group with many ties to other groups. Mainly the ring leader of terroist opperations. They usually attack many nations that we have bought products from We have captured few high officals but they have told us that were using a puppet group to do the attack. TGAK usually never attck boats unless the have Kurleins. We are sending agents to dispose of the threat in your nation. Also as some help we are donating 1 billion for repairs and relief for the family.
