More arrests as authorities roll up terrorist network
Sumilkando National Guard seal off Vashti City neighbourhood during anti-terrorsime raid
Bier Qassem, Emirate of Kayuratan,
Government officials announced today that the Kiyadat al Kouwat al Khasa al Badara (KKKB) had arrested 21 people in a counter-terrorisme raid in Vashti City, Emirate of Sumilkando, in connection to an earlier raid some days ago in Ras El-Haram, Emirate of Kayuratan. The officials didnt give any details on how the government got the information about the terrorist cell in Vashti City, nor did they give any details about the identity of the arrested suspects. Witnesses reported to BNC that a majority of the arrested suspects are of Asli descent. The Asli are the majority ethnic group in Vashti City, which can give problems with ethnic Majatrans in the city, who are the majority ethnic group in the entire United Badaran Emirates. The officials continued by saying the raid took place in one of the predominantly Asli neighbourhoods of the city. Because of that and recent tensions between Asli and Majatran youth, the KKKB sealed of the entire neighbourhood and the Sumilkando National Guard was put on standby, in case events got out of hand. Luckely the raid went as planned and there are no reports of injured on both sides. The officials claimed that a large amount of cash and several military grade weapons were confiscated during the raid.
It is yet unclear to which terrorist organisation the suspects belong to, since government officials havent commented on that issue, nor on the issue of which nationality the currently 28 suspecst held in custody have. It is speculated by the media, both domestic and foreign, that the suspects belong to the socalled Terran Anarchist Death Squads, which are held responsible for several terror attacks in Dovani, most notably the "Massacre of Winthrop" in which around 500 people were killed, but it has to be noted again that the Badaran government hasnt confirmed that suspicion . Several other countries have also arrested suspect belonging to the Terran Anarchist Death Squads. These nations are; Rutania, Zardugal, Luthori and Hulsteria.
