St. Padre Pio's Cathedral destroyed

This is an Iron Fish News Alert brought to you from Studio 57, I'm Al Green.

Two large explosions rocked Central Budo today, destroying St. Padre Pio's Cathedral and killing dozens.

St Padre Pio's is the largest Catholic cathedral in The Iron Fish and Emperor Phillips' own place of worship and is believed to have been the target of militant Watchers hell-bent on reclaiming the throne from the Emperor.

It is believed that the dead were in the Cathedral at the time, attending a baptism. They have not yet been named.

This is the latest in a series of anti-Catholic and anti-Monarchy terrorist actions. The most recent being the murder of two prominent Catholic bishops by way of car bomb.

The Imperial Palace could not be reached immediatly for comment.

More as we get it.

I demand that punishment be swift and harsh on these anti-Catholic demons that currently plague the Iron Fish and its Emperor, Philip I.

A message from Emperor Phillip I at the The Imperial Palace:

"People of The Holy Empire, blood has yet again been spilt on our soil. This afternoon cowardly enemies of the Crown and of God himself murdered fourteen innocent people and in the process destroyed a most holy building and a place of worship. A place of peace.

This is not the first crime of such a nature these villians have carried out. The murder of two holy men, the ritual slaughter of nine children in a Catholic orphanage and countless other atrocities.

This cannot and shall not continue.

This is why I have ordered a special armed unit to the homes of known Watcher-sympathisers. They will be put under arrest, their assests seized and their homes burnt to the ground.

This is one of only two lessons I am willing to teach those enemies of the Crown. The second will be death.

In the meantime, sleep soundly knowing your Emperor has your best interests at heart and I will do my utmost to keep you safe."

This is an Iron Fish News Update with me, Al Green.

The Emperor has indeed made good on his promise to arrest Watcher-sympathisers as enemies of the Crown.

These dramatic pictures show people being dragged from their homes and their homes burnt to the ground.

Iron Fish News Alert~!

Hello, I'm Al Green.

A bomb has exploded in a local all-Catholic junior high-school. 123 children and four teachers were killed, and dozens more wounded.

Pro-Watcherism and enemies of the Crown, calling themselves The Guardian Watchers, claimed responsibility.

The Emperor has said he will make a public statement sometime soon.

More as we get it.

The killing of innocent children is condemned all around the world, and no more so than in New Harumf. Please let us know if you need anything in this battle with these barbarians, and we will send it quickly.

From the Imperial Palace, Emperor Phillip I.

"My people! I urge you to be calm. I am as angered as you are at the slaughter of innocent children, not to mention the countless adult lives that were lost in this latest atrocity perpertrated by enemies of the Crown.

What so-called religion would advocate the murder of children? What religion would advocate the relentless persuit of somebody else's Crown? My Crown.

I must emphasis upon those who wish me dethroned the fact that I, personally, disposed of Kurtang, your beloved Watcher leader. A man who fabricated a God to have people follow him, and to then commit regicide and crown himself Emperor. A coward and a liar, that is who he was.

I would also like to emphasis my complete lack of mercy to those who would habour these terrorists. If you believe a Sympathiser may be among you, report it to the Iron Intelligence Angecy.

In the meantime...

Two weeks ago we arrested a number of Watcher-sympathisers. They have been held in a maximum security prison since then. I have prepared their death sentances, they just need to be signed.

Unless this terrorist group immediatly decalres ceasefire, and opens dialect with the Crown, these people will be put to death as enemies of the Crown in a weeks time.

That is all."

Maybe. But a couple more things need to happen first. I know this seems pretty dull thus far, but trust me it gets better.

Coming to you live from Studio 57, this is the IFTN News at Nine.

'Good morning, it's nine o'clock, I'm Al Green alongside Momi Amtesh and these are the headlines this morning:

*Terrorist group The Guardian Watchers release tape of six Catholic missionaries being executed in response to Emperor's call for ceasefire.

*A Landslide in West Yankerish has destroyed several homes and taken the lifes of nine people.

*And from tomorrow you'll have to be over the age of twenty one to enjoy your favourite tipple.

Amtesh: The pro-Watcherism group, 'The Guardian Watchers' has released video footage of six Catholic missionaries being beheaded in response to Emperor Phillip's demand for a ceasefire.

Green: The missionaires had been preaching and handing out food parcels in some of the nations poorest areas and were reported missing four days ago. The Imperial Palace responded with anger and force, sending troops into known Watcher strongholds and arresting anybody who would not pledge immediate loyalty to the Crown and to denounce Watcherism.

Twenty arrests were made.

The Emperor has also said that his offer to release several Watcher-sympathisers if ceasefire was declared was now void and those sympathisers have been executed by firing squad.

He has declared that those arrested today would be questioned, and if found to have been involved with the TGW they will be executed.

The Holy Empire of The Iron Fish appreciates Catholic Europe's offer to send troops to assist in the dismantlement of The Guardian Watchers.

However, at this time we have the situation well under control but will keep your offer in mind.

Signed,

Qu Bo,
Undersecretary to The Emperor.

The Imperial Palace has released a photo of the person they suspect to be leading recent terroist actions in the nation.

Posted Image
Xan Hu, leader of The Guardian Watchers.

This woman has been named as Xan Hu. A former Imperial soldier, she was promoted to General directly by Kurtang, the former spiritual leader of Watcherism. When the Watcherism Government was overthrown she fled, fearing execution. She gathered those loyal to Watcherism and has been directly linked to murder of two Catholic bishops recently.

The Palace has stressed she is not to be approached. If she is seen, the public are urged to call the Imperial Intelligence Agency on 555-9746.

I am willing to sen agents into your territory to track down and eliminate this Xan Hu. Do not think that I have forgotten the pact forged by our nations after the Dead Salmon Conflict. Norightsia stands by you.

Private e-Telegram to Emperor Galerius I, of Norightsia.
From: The Imperial Palace, Budo.

Emperor, we have not had much time to talk since I came to power. I apologise for this. Kurtang left things in a bad way. The economy was imploding, my people were living on the bread line, and I had a duty to sort things out.

And now this terrorist group aims to bring chaos to the streets. It aims to dethrone me. But I still have faith that, God willing, we will overcome them.

Intelligence suggests that Xan Hu and her followers have holed up somewhere in Negative Matter. I will get back to you once I have spoken to that nation.

Yours,

Emperor Phillip I.

News Brief

Today, we have recieved word that guerrilla leader and suspected Iron Fishian terrorist Xan Hu has turned up on the streets of the western city of Linhe. Accused of anti-government and anti-Catholic activity as head of the Guardian Watchers in the Iron Fish, Hu is currently one of Asia's most high-profile criminals. It is unclear how or why she came to Negative Matter. Currently, she has officially requested asylum in Negative Matter. The case is now pending before the Lucheng Provincial Court.

This has been a Negative Matterian News Brief.

I demand the extradition of Xan Hu to either Iron Fish, Catholic Europe or any other Holy League nation so that she may face charges for crimes against Catholics and terrorism.

Greetings Chancellor,

I see by recent news transmissions from your nation that your intelligence services have also pinpointed Xan Hu and her followers in Negative Matter.

We request you allow a batallion of Iron Fishian troops into Linhe, where they will find Xan Hu and return her to The Iron fish.

Yours,
