Introducing the "Hand of Death!"

In newspapers around the world....

The Sacred Holy Empire of Scythirus shocked the world today when it unveiled its latest innovation: the "Hand of Death" intercontinental ballistic missile. This new ICBM holds a boasted range of 14,000 km. Nations are concerned about the missiles [possible nuclear capability], but Emperor Krildahd Voramix assures the world that it will only carry conventional warheads.

When asked why constructing such a potentially deadly weapon, the Emperor replied that it is for necessary defense. In the past, nations from the West have made attempts to invade the economically powerful Persian nation and this new "Hand of Death" will keep them thinking twice before invading again.

Still one must wonder about the rumored nuclear arms programs in Scythirus' past and if they were only that; rumors. If the rumors had any truth, the "Hand of Death" may be a lot more deadlier than Scythirus is letting on.
