NAJASTER, Kahanistan (AP) - The nation's capital has been the victim of terrorist extremists today, claiming to be opposed to Kahanistan's recent joining of the United Nations (UN).

At 11:35 AM GMT, six explosions took place almost simultaneously in the capital city of Najaster. The targets were the UN Mission in the International district, the Presidential Office, and the National Defense Forces headquarters, each bombed by what are believed to be two civilian transport trucks, packed with an estimated 50 metric tons each of high explosives.

Casualties include the Supreme Marshal of the Kahanistan Armed Forces, General of the Army Khalid Omar bin Amar and most of his staff, UN Ambassador Abu Jalal al-Qamar, and Minister of Defense Jamal bin Hassan al-Shariq, who was awaiting a meeting with President Mohammed bin Yusuf al-Za'if, who was not yet at the office and is unharmed, at an undisclosed location. The death toll exceeded 20,000 in the National Defense Forces headquarters alone, a 160-story highrise.

The terrorist group Tahrir Al-Ummah claimed responsibility. In a manifesto issued after the attack, its supreme commander, Kemal Abdallah, declared, "We will not sit idly by and watch our once-great warrior's nation debase itself before the meddling UN, and surrender its sovereignty to those countries who have not even fought wars in centuries. This attack will be the first blow to driving the international scum out of Kahanistan."

Kahanistan's President al-Za'if condemned the attack in uncharacteristically vicious language. "We will exterminate these terrorist shitfilth one by one, and we will nuke any country that harbors them, massacring their entire populations, poison their drinking water, and bury their mutilated carcasses in the most unclean and polluted areas on Earth, which are not fit for human habitation." Al-Za'if's aides attributed the normally stoic and tolerant President's speech to his anger at seeing his goal of a global Kahanistan go up in flames. Al-Za'if, 44, continued his tirade further. "I call upon all loyal allies of Kahanistan to hunt down and slaughter these subhuman butchers, and any country that harbors them to either expel them to Kahanistan for torture and execution, or kill them themselves and return the carcasses to Kahanistan as proof that they are dead, so that your countries will be spared the wrath of our nuclear arsenal. Those nations have 48 hours to comply."

Kahanistan's constitution stringently prohibits torture. Kahanistan is party to at least five international treaties banning the use of torture.

In the President's underground bunker, President Mohammed bin Yusuf al-Za'if ordered the full mobilization of the Kahanistan army. He promoted General Hamed bin Malik to Supreme Marshal, replacing the slain Supreme Marshal bin Amar. This granted him complete command of the Kahanistan military. al-Za'if then broadcasted a public service announcement, flanked by his new Supreme Marshal and six Imperial Marines in two MK-88 Walkers All of them were wearing full NBC gear.

"This is President Mohammed bin Yusuf al-Za'if. Four days ago, at least 30,000 men, women, and children were slaughtered by nationalist terrorist extremists. I have called upon the international community for help in tracking down these terrorists, but no country has yet come forth with intelligence as to where these terrorists are located. Over the past four days, we have destroyed all known Tahrir al-Ummah bases in Kahanistan. However, I must report that terrorists today released Sarin gas in the Senate building. Thanks to the nuclear, biological, and chemical gear our Senators and their security were wearing as part of the increased security measures I implemented after the terrorist attack four days ago, there were minimal casualties and no fatalities. However, this means that since we have destroyed all terrorist bases in Kahanistan, the terrorists must be harbored by one of our neighbors. We have sealed our borders to prevent furhter intrusions, and we again call upon the international community for help locating the terrorists before we have to enter their countries ourselves with these." He gestured to the Imperial Marines in their four-meter-tall walker drones, with ominous-looking weaponry attached to them. "These are Kahanistan's dreaded Imperial Marine Corps, outfitted in the state-of-the-art MK-88 Walker drone. It is 4.5 meters tall, weighs sixteen tons, and carries three 90MW plasma disruptors hooked to a central 1 GJ reactor. The whole suit is plated in 20cm tantalum-155 armor. These destroyed the terrorist bases in Kahanistan, and they will destroy the bases in other countries if those countries will not join the global fight against terrorists." The screen blanked.
