Osama Al-Tikriti stood at the bridge of the Tunisian cargo freighter looking out at the waves before him. The ocean was dark, lit only by the stars, moon and the lights of the ship gliding through the water. He exited down to the stairway, descending to the engine room. He opened the metal door, covered with rust, and walked inside. Next to the doorway was the bomb, a 10 Megaton thermonuclear device. He ran his hand down the lead shell covering it thinking, "This shall bring justice to the infidels." For too long the infidels had used Morocco as a colony to protect their materialist shipments passing through this narrow chokepoint, but no longer. Now, the Infidels were going to lose their precious water route for 35,000 years. The intercom clicked on, "Our time has come, the lights of Morocco are only five miles ahead". Osama pressed the timer to a ten second countdown and radioed back to the bridge "The will of Allah is done.... 10....9.....8.....7.....6......5.....4....3....2....1
ALLAHU ACKBAR"
A flash brighter than the sun soon lit up the strait.

I think you should start over, make it a nuke on a cargo ship or something, a better RP then

Thd BM Navy was doing workups for security in the straight after the last terrorist incident where the straight was mined. President Johnson realized that the straight would be a problem as long as terrorists wanted to shut down the West. He had no idea how far the terrorists would go.

Commander Joseph Smith, the CO of the Arleigh Burke class DDG BMS Nelson was in charge of the security operation. His destroyer was overseeing the mission where the new Orion class hydrofoils would patrol the straight. His ship was just heading into port when the explosion went off. The Nelson along with all 4 hydrofoils and a Perry class FFG were incinerated. The BM city of Gibraltar was mainly destroyed. 750,000 of the 900,000 citizens were killed or seriously injured by the blast. The surrounding areas were less touched, but the straight was in ruins along with dozens of cargo ships, the radiation would be a problem for time to come.

President Johnson was woken up and grew sick upon hearing the news. He was angry, but also sad. His 1st order of business was to make sure that aid got to Gibraltar, saving lives was priority 1, he had to get international help.

With Johnson's plea to the world for aid done, he had to do something, but there was nothing to do. HIs country only recently built a nuclear reactor for power, so they weren't experienced on how to deal with a disaster of this magnitude. He only had 125 trained personel to go to the city of 900,000. HIs Navy along with it's leaders were killed and there was nothing stopping another attack, but aid was coming to prevent it.

Johnson needed to get aid, but it was coming in slow.

He also had to hunt down the terrorists, no one claimed responsibility, but that would soon change. He was sure of it, then there would be hell to pay.

Parthia condemns these attacks as barbaric and hopes that any terrorists who perpetrated this atrocity are hunted down and killed.
