June 25, 4546
The Still-Burning Ruins of Governor Grant Carver's Home After the Explosion of an Incendiary Bomb
Over the past few years, there has been a rising in acts of terrorism in Kalistan, starting with explosion of a car bomb outside of a CAK base in Kaliburg back in March 4544 and most recently with the assassination of President Sarah Furhat by a gun-toting psychopath last February. Kalistan was truck again by terrorists after the June elections when an incendiary bomb was detonated outside of the home of the newly elected Governor of Neveras, Grant Carver. Fortunately, the Carver family was out of the home at the time of the explosion and nobody was harmed, but the home and all of the Carver family possessions within burnt to a crisp during the fire following the explosion. The Maridon division Kalistan Fire Department were quick to react to the explosion, however couldn't make it to the house in time due to heavy traffic and the large distance between the station and the Governor's home.
Police expect this to be an act of terror after multiple witness reports of four shady people wearing Patriotic League campaign clothing loitering around the house who had hastily vacated the area minutes before the explosion. The Maridon and National Police departments are currently searching for people with the following descriptions:
- A tall tanned white man with with short brown hair.
A pale white woman of average height with long brown hair.
A tall muscular black man with a shaved head.
A short portly pale white man with a blonde pony tail, a stubble neckbeard, and a goatee.
Governor Grant Carver gave the following statement to reporters:
It seems to me that Kalistan is under siege. Under siege by those who wish to use violence and harm others in order to reach their political goals. I don't know who it is who has decided to attack the NCP and LDP, though I do have my suspicions, but I do know one thing: They will fail. They will force the overwhelming force of all Kalistanis everywhere if they believe they intimidate us into submission. It will be the freedom fighters in the National Assembly, from the UKWF to the LDP, who ensure they never gain political power. It will be our brave police who hunt them down and the courts who ensure just punishment. It will be our mighty military and militias who will face them on the field of battle if it comes to that. It will be us liberty-loving who ensure these forces of evil and tyranny fail on all fronts, for that is our patriotic duty. Today we my be recovering, but tomorrow we will be on the offensive. In Vino Veritas!
