The Danatovian Gazette
May 15, 2004:

Hundreds lie dead in the wake of explosions at the Danatovian parliment.

The small and newly founded corperate based democracy of Danatovia was in shock in the wake of attacks that left upwards of 2 hundred people dead, and as many wounded sometime this afternoon. All 9 members of the governing body, the council of nine, have survived according to eye witness accounts. Although no official statement has been released, eyewitness accounts relay this as an obvious and blatent terror attack.
"I was on my 10 minute lunch break" relates Ethwait Masilitous, local buisnessman "when what i thought was an earthquake or something shattered the windows of the mcDonalds I was at. When I ran outside I saw the house[parliment] half gone! There was so much smoke, and fire. it was horrible!" So far, nobody has claimed responsibility for this horrible event.
We await further information and a statement from the house.

The Jingoistic States of Assyria Antioch would like to extend an offer of humanitarian aid to Danatovia in the wake of the vile and dispicable attacks on the Danatovian Parlament.

From DBC (Danatovian broadcasting company) news,

"Hello , Im Joe Snidely of DBC news, we've just gotten word of an inpromptu news conference being held and the temporary makeshift parlement in light of recent events, we take you now live to the scene"

Minister Bohai, 3rd chair of the council of nine steps up to the podium , prparing to adress the 50 plus reporters and newscrews. He begins to speak.

"We send out our condolences, and heartfelt concerns to all the family and friends of those lost in the wake of todays tragic ocurences. What happened what a horrendus and inexcusable crime, and everything in our power will and is being done to aprehend those responsible"
We would also like to take this moment to thank the benevolance of the nation of Assyria Antioch for it's swift response of humanitarian aid.
