Embassies Attacked
In two simultaneous attacks,
the Tir Tairngire and Aztlan
Embassies in Seattle were attacked in
the early morning by terrorists using
high-powered weapons and
explosives.
The Aztlan Embassy gates
were rammed by a truck packed with
explosives and then suicide drones
followed through the breach with
shooters from outside providing
covering fire. The explosion
destroying the front of the embassy
and killing at least seven with
wounded estimated to number thirty
or more. Two of the attackers were
killed when an Aztlan mage hit their
vehicle with a fire spell but the
remaining five shooters escaped.
The Tir Embassy was hit by
improvised mortars and rockets
mounted on flatbed trucks and
operated remotely. A least one sniper
is believed to have been active as
well. The Tir casualties were three
dead and eighteen wounded.
The California Liberation
Army has claimed responsibility. The
FBI is offering a large reward for
information leading to the arrest of
those involved. The Governor and the
US President have condemned the
attacks.
