120 KILLED IN VRASSA
Terrorists make first strike in years by attacking small village
Vrassa City, Vrassa
August 8, 4094
Over one hundred people have been killed and dozens more left injured after the New Army of Kalistan remerged following an extensive period without significant activity. The incident occurred last night in a tiny village in the Vrassan countryside. Two armoured trucks sped onto the main street in the village before around ten men in balaclavas and armed with sub-machine guns began targeting late-night shoppers, dog walkers, clubbers and anybody else they could find. They shot at civilians and committed widespread arson. The violence continued for around two hours before militia troops from the People's Army were able to force the remaining terrorists to flee. It is suspected that at least nine of the deaths were New Army of Kalistan members.
Sarah Edwards lives near to the village centre with her elderly mother, she told us what it was like at the time,
The village's total population was only around three hundred people and it has been left in ruins this morning with citizens from neighbouring areas flooding to help the clean up operation. There were highly emotional scenes as many gathered around the memorial in the town, dedicated to military veterans, to sing the national anthem. Whether Kalistan will ever see the promised 'peace and prosperity' is a difficult subject.
President O'Connell has been briefed on the developments but was only able to provide a short statement:
Temporary accommodation has been offered to all residents with the government asking sympathetic citizens to support the 'Disaster Appeal Committee' who are beginning to repair the damage done.

Quote:I am still traumatised, in all honesty. I was drifting off to sleep when I heard screaming coming from outside. I rushed to the window to see what was going on and all I saw was the local shop, run by Mr. Neetan, ablaze. There were people running away from my road and screaming. I didn't know what to do. My mum and I just bolted the door and prayed.

Quote:These people are not men. They are cowards, weasels and unworthy of our thoughts. Do not think of these vile individuals, I ask instead that you think of those who have lost and do whatever you can to support them.
