It is my solemn duty to confer to the international community the tragic news that at 2155 Golgothastani Eastern Mountain Time a car bomb detonated in a suburb of Rantanka City, killing at least 13 people, including 4 children and 1 foreign national. More than 35 others are injured, 8 critically. The explosion took place during the delivery of President Chocowitz's Inauguration Speech, in which he accepted the leadership of The Democratic Republic of Golgothastan, as was decided by the free and open choice of the people in the recent elections. It is believed that the attack was perpetrated by the Neo-Maoist separatist group, 'Vive La Wombat'. The President expresses his heartfelt condolences to all those affected, and has sworn that all efforts shall be made on Golgothastan's part to track down and bring to justice these vile assassins, and asks that allies, friends and neutral observers render assistance by refusing to harbour members of VLW.
