Terrorist Attack in Atradaitoshi

***This is the PFN 6 o' clock news***

Today a shocking and devastating attack has occured in Atradaitoshi, the capital of the Commonwealth of Pasiphae. There have been terrorist attacks across the city, and early reports suggest that the Parliament buildings have been blown up by a small bomb.

This attack differed from other attacks, as other bombs were strategicly placed at "hot spots" around the building. These blew up after being struck by the blast of the first.

Also, the office area of Atradaitoshi has been attacked, and the main building of the PNSE (Pasiphae National Stock Exchange) has been damaged beyond repair, and is now a smoldering wreck in the middle of downtown Atradaitoshi.

An unexploded amount of TNT has been found in the Pasiphae Star Ladder, one of the tallest towers in Apolyton. Although Atradaitoshi police refused to comment on the amount of TNT found, he said "The amount of TNT we found in the 32nd floor of the PSL would have been enough to bring it to the ground".

Over 50 000 people are unaccounted for, and downtown Atradaitoshi has been closed, period.

No official comments have come from Prime Minister James Smith, who was not attending parliament today, as he was in a meeting with the leaders of Akiria and Centralis.

Coverage of these shocking attacks will continue through the night.

The Holy Nation of Sheepsta asks the Phespiean government to join the Anti-Terrorism Alliance. These terrorists most likely came from Alecrast or New Elysuim, and shall not continue to be on the run for long.

Centralis: Our intellegience, better than most think, have detected the presense of Alecretian Special Forces in Phespiae. I pint to this as another attribute of the Alcrestian terrorists.

Due to your previous, poor record when it comes to acknowledging the truth and of threatening genocide, Centralis is inclined to believe that Sheepsta is quite likely to have committed this act as a way to tarnish the reputation of Alecrast and it's allies.

Press Release:

The Pasiphae Intelligence agency has been infected with a deadly virus. Although efforts are being made to counter-act it, important files are being deleted as we speak, according to an inside source

Sheep · January 18, 2003, 01:11

Considering Sheepsta does not have the technology to make computer virsues that deadly, the blame is indeed pointed at Centralis. Centralis is a scientific nation who must have knowledge in this field.

Frozzy · January 18, 2003, 01:16

The Commonwealth of Pasiphae wishes not to point the finger at this time, especially at our esteemed neighbour in Centralis.

All we wish for is aid to help our citizens through this painful time.

Sheep · January 18, 2003, 01:18

Facing war with Centralis and Alecrast, The Holy Empire has nothing to give. However we do offer our intellegience service to track down the perpertrators of this act.

Frozzy · January 18, 2003, 01:21

Pasiphae accepts this offer, and will have support from our intelligence agencies

GeneralTacticus · January 18, 2003, 01:24

Centralis refuses to take part in any investigation of which Sheepsta is a part, and will not acknowledge it's conclusion unless and until our own intelligence services can validate them. Sheepsta's word has no value.

Now that our millitary is freed from any entanglements, we can offer millitary assiantance if needed. We can also send in relief workers to help in the after math. USJ is commited to fighting terrorism all over the world. We though request Sheepsta to not interrefer with this matter. The ODSN can handle this matter.

GeneralTacticus · January 18, 2003, 02:28

Centralis is also willing to contribute funds from the now frozen Sovietskii Relief account. How much is required? We can provide up to 8.5 billion centrals (conversion calculations in progress).

EDIT: our economists believe that this sum would add up to 34 billion pali, which, we would hope, will be more than enough to pay for the damage done. However, we will need to keep some in reserve in order to pay for the reseatablishment of order Alecrast, and to reduce our national debt.

Karakas condemns this terrorist atrocity. The government and nation of Karakas stands by the people of Pasiphae in their time of crisis.

Frozzy · January 18, 2003, 02:56

We accept any money we can recieve... so Centralis, would you be wiling to part with around 2 billion Centrals?

USJ, we are expelling Sheepsta from our lands due to conflicting matters. Thank you for your support.

Dearest neighbour Karakas. We thank you for your support during this exceptionally difficult period. It is well recieved among our nation. We hope we can continue to bond as neighbours.

Jack_www · January 18, 2003, 02:58

Currently with all that is going on in the region we have very little cash to part with. We can offer 100 Million USJ Dollars.

Certainly. This leaves us 2.5 billion to pay off the debt we were forced to incur in order to assemble this much money, and 3 billion in aid for Alecrast.

Frozzy · January 18, 2003, 03:01

USJ, considering our current status, we can do nothing but accept.

Thank you very much for your support.

The Dominion of Zoran wishes to offer 2 Billion Zora to pasiphae to help rebuild the center of Atradaitoshi and to help ease the suffering of civilians in the area. In addition to this aid, schools of higher learning in Zoran will create numerous scholarships for children of those who died in the attacks of this week. No strings attached, consider this a gift to the people of pasiphae by the people of Zoran.

Due to the demands, the Lord Protector will not interfere with the investigation. The other available agencies are more likely to track down the perpertrators. We however will foward any information that comes through.

The People's Republic of Dark valley offers it's deepest condolences to the people of Pasiphae. The perpetrators of this heinous act should showthemselves.

We will monitor developements and will accordingly. Meanwhile, a plane with surplus basic medical equipment, and a flying hospital has been sent. Sadly we cannot afford any more fiscal help since our nation's economy is weak, due to the increased military spending, and compulsory military service that had to be enacted because of the recent developements in the region, as well as the Apolyton fusion Research initiative.

The Commonwealth of Alecrast joins Pasiphae in mourning, however we're afraid we have nothing to give, with our nation in Anarchy as it is due to the recent attacks. Our thoughts go out to you.

the PRDV would like to point out that the strongest player in the field of IT is the Akiria/Sov.Soy axis. Our sources indicate that the rogue nation of Akiria was the source of the attack.
