Ten men were packed in a black van and drove up. It was a public library, people were going in and out. The ten men drove to the back where no one was around and dressed up in ski masks. They loaded their AK-47 assault rifles which they stole from storming a police armory. There were a propane tanks they hauled along with them. They lugged the heavy tanks to the back fire escape. One man put a few pounds of C-4 plastic explosives.
"Armed," the man said picking his AK-47 up. The leader was a taller man, about 6'8, 250 pounds. A man you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley.
"You five, go to the front and storm it. Close the door. Shoot any escapers. Me and the other four shall go in through the back door. We kill any escapers in the back," the leader said looking around for witnesses. There was not a top floor, so the only route of escape for the innocent people at the library was to run out the back or the front.
"Ja, mein Fuhuer!" One man said saluting leading four others with him to the front. The leader and his team busted down the fire door and charged shouting at the top of their lungs.
"ON THE GROUND! NOW!" The leader said shooting his AK at random people bringing two down. Everyone looked in suprise and complied with the terrorists. The terrorist that planted the bomb was walking around to different parts of the library was planting more explosives. They were not afraid to kill themselves and many others if their demands were not met. No negotiations. No comprimises. If the authorities said no, down the library goes along with at least 150 civilans. The phone rang...

"Ja?" The terrorist leader said.
"This is the authorities, is everyone okay?" The man on the other line said.
"Nein. We are hostage takers. We kill every single person in here if we do not get eighty million dollars. You have 72 hours. Each hour, we kill one man. If you do not comply within your time limit, we destroy the building. No questions asked. Once it hits the 72nd hour, boom. No more building. If you try to storm, we all die. All we want is money. Give it to us, great! If not, say goodbye to many precious citizens. SEVENTY-TWO HOURS! Goodbye," the leader said slamming down the phone.
"But..." the policeman was cut off.

Pro-Patria condems the actions of these terrorists and would like to offer official support to New Deustchland.
Officials however advise New Deustchland to not barter with terrorists. If done once, it's like an invitation to others. Also with that kind of money they could well equip people to do significantly more damage.

Our STAT Units also suggested a course of action: Depending on the explosives used to wire the building, a strong enough EMP field(such as that from a small nuclear warhead with special coating detonated suffficently above in the air) could disrupt any triggers/timers/remote controls and allow you to storm the building. That however, would have negative effects in itself(naturally), especially on the electrical infrastructure of the city.

We do not know your policy regarding terrorist incidents or how much your government cares about it's people, but as mentioned before, we will try and offer support if there's anything we can do to help.

Thank you, very much. As you can see, we are just a small nation. We are only beginning to train our soldiers to deal with counter-terrorist operations. We care about our people very much, but I want those terrorists killed. I don't care how many civilians are killed, just get rid of those terrorists. If any payment is needed, I'll pay.

" More hostages" says Zoin

" yes sir" replies a tech sargeant

" i will watch for now" says Zoin

very well.
although as said, depending on what they used there is no guarantee aforementioned plan will work. Pro-Patria denies any responsibility for damage or deaths as a result of following our recommendations.

Within 36 hours, we should be able to supply you with a warhead as mentioned before. As your police and military seem unable to handle the situation out of a lack of training, we will also supply a STAT Unit(Special Tactics Assault Team) armed with CAW rifles and kevlar body armor, IR Sight Units and Flashbangs. They'll have orders to try and capture at least one terrorist alive.
We suggest you cut their power inmediately(standard procedure in many countries) and a few minutes before assaulting, cut the power of the whole city, which might prevent some damage. Also shield important government systems as best you can.

As this will provide a hands-on-experience for a situation we have not yet had ourselves but would be well-advised to be prepared for, we will naturally forego any fees.

OOC: However, if you decide to do this, i want you to decide what's going to happen, naturally...this is your incident...successfull? unsuccessfull? more to it than the eye sees? what group is it?...

Yes, that is a good idea to cut the power for the whole city. We shall get right on it. As for the STAT team, we thank you. We shall also evacuate any government officals in the city just in case there are any other terrorists planning any more attacks.

(OOC: Well, since this is my first incident... lets make it successful, shall we? ;) )

OOC: Hehe, ya, and with hobbeebia around it might seem you'll get another incident for free ;)
it'd also like it to be successful, then we can open up positive diplomatic relations as a follow-up ;) as said, as for what happens, all up to you ;) Me, I gotta fetch some sleep, back in a few hours...everything's up to you thus ^_^
