Report from Media Syndicate International -

TERRISTAN (MSI) - Government sources confirm that terrorists have exploded a large nerve gas bomb in the Terristan capital at noon local time.

While reports are sketchy, it appears the bomb was detonated within the central business district of the Terristan capital city. While no official report of causalities has been released, sources report that the figure might be of catastrophic proportions.

Intelligence agency officials speaking on condition of anonymity say that this is the first known terrorist incident in the Armed Dictatorship of Terristan. The irony is that Terristan has publicly admitted to supporting terror groups like the GLA and yet itself was vunerable to terror attacks. It is because of this support of international terrorism that Terristan has found itself on the Credonian government's list of enemy states for elimination.

No sources will confirm the link between Credonia's expanded chemical warfare program with the deadly nerve gas attack on Terristan's capital though one did admit that the link was one thing that will bear investigation.

The governments of the Republic of Ozymandias IV and of the Republic of Lauda have both offered Terristan support in tracking down the guilty parties and in offering humanitarian aid.

The Terristan government which had placed its strategic nuclear assets on high alert just before the attack has been silent since the incident took place.

The actual incident can be found here (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=115676&start=100).

Terristan confirms the attack.

So far are 13,000 casualties. Hospitals in the capital are overflowing.

However freezing weather conditions are helping in dissipating the virus attack.

Terristan and her allies will strike back at those who made the attack. Security personnell are sure they will trace the attack.

Incoming flights have been banned to the Fruit Island region.


Terristani security officials have taken a man believed to be involved in the attack. Using sustained torture the man is shown to have come from Lauda, a small nation. Gareth James will be executed by public beheading at a later date.


Casualty rates are still rising in the capital but the rate is falling. Estimates but the number of casualties at 19,000. 15832 are already confirmed dead.

The Leader of Terristan has declared the IADF as the "bane of the world" and declares their aggressive foreign policy as the start of a ticking bomb.

At 12:05pm yesterday a bomb loaded with the deadly nerve agent VX was detonated outside the Central Bank in Terristan. There have been 15832 deaths so far confirmed by the local authorites.

LIA at Severn House confirmed that the attack was likley carried out by a Laudian splinter group Papmos they breach survialist fantasy. Security forces have been unable to close down due to there activites being pefectly legal. At 10pm last night local Armed Anti Terrorism officers raided there headquaters and took into custody 8 people including the groups leader Richard Havern. Inspection of the groups computer systems has revealed they plan to bring about the end of the world by destroy major citys or making others do it for them.

The detailed plans included details of contacts's to buy VX, Ebola and nuclear bomb materials. It also included a strategy of bombings around the world with targets including Terristan, Guerlistan, Credonia, Laudian City, and just about every IADF ally. A Hazmat Team has also confirmed that is likley at least one more bomb has already left there headquarters.

It is recomended that the people invloved in the attack stand trial in a International Court.

I would reccomend that The President contact the Terristan Goverment to help resolve any issues, and that Local enforcement country wide be on the look out for similar devices to the VX bomb used in Terristan

After hearing this news, we came to the discovery that it's one of our nerve gas agents, recently "lost" in a testing area...

So Lauda has admitted to harbouring terrorists........... so why don't you Credonia go and invade them?

You are all hypocrites (apart from a few)

We wont invade them as they pose no threat to us. If they did, we would take some measure of action but until then, we will do nothing but negotiate with the Laudian government. As it states in the Credonian foreign policy thread, we will not attack or take military actions unless the National Security of Credonia is in danger.

the fruit islands pose no threat. We have only activated weapons as you are threatening to attack. If you call off the attack, we deactivated weapons. simple.

The Republic of Ozymandias IV points to this recent incident as one of the problem with WMD proliferation. The fact that a VX nerve agent was "lost" and turned up in the hands of a terrorist organization is just another example of why these type of weapons programs need careful monitoring.

The Republic's Ruling Council calls for an international investigation into Holy panooly's control systems for its WMD programs. If it is determined that appropriate controls do not exist, we urge the international community to hold the Holy panooly government responsible for the terrible incident in Terristan and require it to pay restitution to the Terristani people.

Further, the Republic offers Lauda assistance in rooting out the Papmos group's training camps with the goal of bringing them to justice. Further, we request that any and all intelligence on this so-called "splinter group" be forwarded to the Republican Security Agency for review.

Very well, for now, consider your islands safe from attack by Credonia.......

Of course it's not good what happened there, but we cannot be held respsonible for such thefts, because it wasn't lost at all. The persons who comitted this are sure be confined to the electric chair when they are caught.

Now, terrorism can happen everywhere, anytime and they're very hard to get as you may know.
But blaming me because it's one of my prototypes that went off is a scandal. We will investigate this matter and we don't need any intereference from outsice.

Thank you.

And where exactly does he state that they are being harboured?

Are they being provided with succor and support by the state, are they being sheilded from the consquences of thier crimes?

(the answer is no)

Lauda has acted fully and properly by immediatly taking steps against those thye belive conected with the crime.
No previous action had been taken as the group had made no overt posturing about acts of terrorism and likely had not presented much of threat to previous security analysis.

Heck he even offers you thier heads (in a manner of speaking).

You seem to forget that had you handed over the UN bombers you would never have been blockaded.

Every proper democratic nation runs the risk of internal terrorism perhaps goign external but msot of them will treat the acts as the crimes they are not laud, praise and shelter the perpetrators.

We must condemn these attacks by Lauda.

Even though we are supporting Credonia and his allies, this is not the way to fight a war.

OOC:

We withdrew in case you didn't know.

See the "Assassination of Credonian Family by GLA Terrorists" or something thread, page 7.

In International news the Republic of Danmarc is giving blessings to those victims, and calling for an end to terrorist attacks. Please let us know if there is any humanitarian aid needed, we can dispatch help immediately.

This Morning by Executive Order, I hereby make the following order under Section 21 of the Laudian Terrorism Act 2003.

The Geneva Convention of Human Rights is herby suspended. The Police and Army is nessercary can evacute any populated area and arrest anyone they believe is connected to or active within Pahmos or any other known terrorist organisation.

I am also giving a 24 hours (NS time) cooling period were any terrorist cells in which they may proceed to the local police station hand in there weapons and them-selves and face lighter sentences than they will if they are arrested after this has passed.

The Laudian Goverments thoughts are with the people of Terristan, But the continuing military tensions make it impossible for us to provide any aid at this time

Signed

We reject your arguments as being terribly self-serving. You sell WMDs on the world market. One of your weapons was used in a terror attack against another sovereign state.

Therefore you either sold a WMD to a terrorist state or a state which sponsors terrorism or one of your weapons was lost or stolen.

In any case, it was your government's careless policies toward WMDs which lead directly to this terrible incident. The Republic of Ozymandias IV again calls for an international investigation into this matter and we urge Holy panooly to allow this to take place.

OOC: Nice to see my old enemy has suffered at what he trained. FI only I wasn't grounded, Terristan would be mine.

We are willing to put our hatred for Terristan on hold, and help in any reconstruction, mdical aide, ect. We hate the goverment, not thier people.

I must agree. Holy panooly is just as bad as any terrorist. Selling WMD is stupid, and if you do that, you are a retard. If you are going to sell WMD, you should at least have a backround check, and keep a record of who has what.

It's not our responsibilty that another country is too unaware to let such weapons pass it's border unnoticed.

oo

OOC - i saw that :P

Secrets safe with me :P

close!!!!!!!!!!!

OOC: umm, if you look back at his original attack post, you will clearly see that the terrorist escaped the city. There's no way you could have caught or known it was him

OOC: Ok, he escaped, my bad

Terristani intelligance has confirmed the identity of the City Bomber which claimed 21836 lives.

Gareth James was tracked by security agents since his arrival 6 months prior to the bombing. Fruit Islands visitors are logged and the fact Gareth James was from an IADF state meant he was under light surveillance. However when he was tracked contacting weapons dealers abroad was surveillance broadened.

However intelligence did not uncover how seriously he was to attack the city. CCTV footage clearly shows Gareth James planting a device. Gareth James also left Terristan only minutes before the explosion.

Terristan demands Lauda issue a statement.
