WNN recording:

"Today, Wintrees Royal Customs forces raided a Hampcourt dockyard warehouse owned by James Rosschild, after reports from dockyard staff.

Discovered in the warehouse was a large stockpile of weapons of a Military grade and a number of low grade Chemical weapons and a number of documents that’s were traced back to anti-Wintrees groups in Brent by Military Intelligence Internal (MII). It is thought it directly links to the Free Brent Front, who want complete independence from Wintrees.

Prime Minister Williams has ordered a sweep of Hampcourt by security forces and have closed off all access to the capitol.

In addition, it is thought by experts that this could lead to a move into Brent by Wintrees Defense forces.

Brent has maintained a Home-Rule stance with Wintrees for over 60 years now. Although they are still part of the Wintrees state they do not answer to Hampcourt and the state as a whole.

It is feared by sources close to the Home office that this stockpile could mean an increase in attacks on the capitol.

Terrorist attacks, although unclaimed by the FBF have increased 10 fold in the past few weeks, the most noted one being the killing of 150 people in the subway shootout between Security forces and unknown terrorist in Wintrees Riga (Denmark area).

Sources have also expressed the Prime Ministers short temper on the issue, who as been pushing for an invasion of Brent and the internment or shooting of any or all terrorist groups harbored there."
