SNN NEWS- LIVE REPORT
----------- ------

"At approximately 4:00AM this morning, a GIA terrorist cell launched an attack on the Naris Research Base here on Polaris Island, killing 43 personnel and bringing a substantial portion of the facility down with plastic explosives. Naris is allegedly on the cutting edge of biotechnology, and some U.N. reports have accused NRB of developing biological and chemical weapons, a claim which the Shalrirorchian government officials deny. There is no word on precisely WHAT the cell was after, but Defense Department officials claim that the attack was repulsed, preventing the terrorists from accessing the internal base facilities. This is Simon Welsh reporting, SNN News."

Near the city of Bolghome, POLARIS ISLAND

Abu Whaib, also known as the Raven, watched the Shalrirorchian television broadcast from the back of an old, beat-up Dodge van that served as his command vehicle. He smiled to himself...lies. The infidels did not want his true gains at Naris to be made public.

No matter. Even as he sat there, the assault upon the nearby U.S.S. stellar facility here in Polaris island was underway. Despite increased security there, he was confident of victory...he had committed all his strength to strike a blow that the Jew-lovers would feel for years hence.

His lieutenant ran up. "The Shalrirorchians are dead. We have control of the launchers and the control facility."

The Raven smiled coldly. "Begin the transfer."

The MSBM-15 was a fully-modern multistage rocket designed to carry the heaviest of Shalrirorchia's satellite payloads into space...the MILSTARS sats that linked Shalrirorchian Air, Army, and Navy Commands into a seamless, awesome military presence. Technology, snorted the Raven. The Shalrirorchians always had to have a special toy to play with, and then several more toys to counter that one. The GIA needed no such luxury, as they were about to demonstrate; they could cobble together solutions just as lethal as the most precise U.S.S. laser-guided bomb.

The tanker trucks rolled up the launcher assemblies. They had once carried gasoline, but had been modified by the GIA to carry the toxins stolen from the U.S.S. base. Initially, the Raven had wanted to launch all six of the missiles at the facility, but his superiors had overruled him. Too ambitious, they said. So he instead he beheld the sight from the U.S.S. control room as two of the MSBM-15s underwent hasty modification.

Whaib glanced down at the guidance computer.

The Raven heard gunfire from the perimeter of the base...the U.S.S. had come to retake their toys...but they were about to receive a lesson, along with the other infidels. Though the Raven and his cell would likely not live for another fifteen minutes, they would die knowing that the GIA would go on.

As the launch was completely, sending trails of flame and smoke up into the air, the GIA troops raised their weapons and yelled, Allah-u-Akbar! Allah-u-Akbar!" until the U.S.S. troops cut them down with automatic weapons fire.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two missiles, converted to primitive ICBMS and packed with lethal toxins, roared into the night sky, setting off Air Defense alerts in half a dozen nations surrounding Shalrirorchia. One tilted to vector on the distant territory of the IDF...the other oriented itself to the much-closer capital of the United States. In the capital of Shalcoria, air raid sirens screamed to life...a system never before used, because in two-hundred and fifty years as a nation Shalrirorchia had never actually been directly attacked. In fact, the same could be said for the entire -continent- the Shalrirorchia occupied, called Morningstar. People were slow to react to the warning, unsure of just what in Hades was going on. The net result was that many civilans were still running for cover when the ICBM plowed into the National Avenue and detonated. There were literally thousands of casualties in Shalcoria that night as the elusive, lethal toxins seeped into supposedly "safe" structures and delivered unthinkable death to innocents who had been sleeping peacefully in their beds.

IDF early warning radar and KH-11B Satelites detected the launch. Within 95 seconds it was clear they were on a heading for Jerusalem.

At Strategic command HQ, the General commanding ordered a GQ alarm. The TEACLIPPER ABM site on top of Mt. Herod was activated and RADAR fed info the the advanced ABM laser system that had been developed for the last 5 decades. The system could handle a massive amount of inbounds, but with only 1 this would be child's play.

10 minutes later, the missile entered range. The laser rotated up to a 22 degree angle and fired.

The 1st 3 shots missed, but the final one hit blowing the RV up over the Persian Gulf.

The United States of Shalrirorchia denies any responsibility in yesterday's missile launch, and requests aid services. Casualties in Shalcoria are very, very high.

The People's Republic of Novagorad is more than willing to provide whatever aid we can.
