This is a warning to any traveler that may consider traveling to The Allied States of Big Long Now:

Over the last few days, we have experienced a rise in terrorist groups attacking citizens with any means possible. For now the military has the situation in their power so extra assistance need not be necessary until we are absolutely desperate, for we do not want to cost any other nation their citizen's lives. Therefore, we have grounded all flights incoming to BLN and have made our airspace a No Fly Zone until further notice. We have orders from the president to shoot down any aircraft that violates our airspace.

Any vehicles that are coming to BLN will be thoroughly checked, and backround checks are required on all person(s) in the vehicles. We highly recommend that any planned trips to BLN be postponed during this security threat. All weapons (and anything that could be used as a weapon) will be confiscated and shipped back to any designated address outside the nation of BLN.

We know this is a major pain in the neck for anyone who had plans to come here, but this is just a precaution that will be lifted as soon as the threat has subsided.

Damn, but I was planning on going on my presidental tour! If I decide to go out there, I will make sure I am heavily guarded.

The Chancellor is preparing to issue a warning to the populace. Wait, here he is:

"Attention fellow Fulovitians, Big Long Now is undergoing a tough time, so, I strongly advise not visisting there."

"Who controls the past controls the future, who controls the present controls the past." -1984

UPDATE ON TERRORIST BATTLE
-------------------------------------------

We have recently identified the terrorist group as break away rebels who have disowned themselves from the way of the Allied States of Big Long Now's government. We had recieved an audio tape from their leader who identified himself as Michael Saviante, this is part of the transcription from the audio tape:

"We the people of the breakaway movement in Big Long Now are infuriated at the recent decision of The Allied States of Big Long Now to suspend all civil rights to anyone who's known to be apart of our group. In an address to the nation yesterday, President Richard Evan said, 'The rebels against this government, this country, and our citizens are considered enemies and will not have the rights as our citizens cherish.' Mr. Evan is the enemy to what this nation once stood for, and should be talking with us about what we want, but yet he has ignored our requests and therefore we have begun attacks on the citizens to get our voice through to the government. All attacks will resume until negotiations are possible." - Michael Saviante, leader of the breakaway movement.

We fear thousands dead in strings of bombings around the nation in the past week.

We are beginning to evacuate other nations citizens that are close to the borders of Big Long Now to safety, and the others into shelters that were built for situations like these.

We have successfully eliminated the threat of terrorist attacks in our country after raiding a building and killing Michael Saviante in a short but fierce gun battle. We are beginning cleanup and airports should be reopened within the next 24 hours.
