Day 5

Massive war in the Middle East as conflict escalates

The nation of Jordan officially declared war on Iran, and their forces joined Syrian, Saudi Arab, Egyptian, and Turkish forces on the battlefield in Iran, which were met by Iranian, Pakistani, Indian, and Chinese forces. The violence was catastrophic as nearly half of Asia was dragged into the conflict. The overall middle eastern coalition made advances into Iranian territory against the NAP armed forces, taking everyone by surprise. In a shockingly candid moment, the Pakistani leader was quoted as saying off-camera "There will be blood, mark my words... they are all a bunch of morons." ostensibly referring to the MEC member states.

Muslim Holy Site destroyed!

One of the holiest sites in all of Islam, the Dome of the Rock was utterly destroyed in a massive blast. The Israeli government immediately condemned the terrorist act, denying any involvement, and pointed the finger of suspicion directly at a Zionist radical extremist group bent on Israeli domination over all Arab Muslims. This Zionist terror group often receives funding from a Jewish charity based in the United States. The United States government, upon hearing which group was involved, not only condemned the actions but vowed a full investigation into the non-profit group and immediately froze all known assets of that group. Given the astounding level of violence already in the Middle East, the reaction from Muslim states is expected to be catastrophic.


Three bodies found off Irish coast

The BBC reports that some Irish fishermen made a big catch yesterday... three of them, to be exact. But these was no fish tale, for the catches in question were three men with an affinity for vodka. They were found riddled with holes, and not just from the fishing hooks either. They were apparently shot to death by Russian weapons. So what were they doing near Ireland? Sources inside the British government suggest that these men are suspected to have ties to Communist Russia, involved in the illegal arms trade with the IRA. A spokesperson for the Irish Republican Army could not be reached for comment.

Turkish-Syrian war ends in a cease-fire

Istanbul- Leaders from Turkey and Syria, as well as diplomats from several Arab nations met Wednesday to discuss an end to the fighting between Turks and Syrians. The talks were apparently successful, as the leaders of both nations signed the cease-fire agreement after calling a press conference. "It was all a big misunderstanding." Said the Turkish Prime Minister.

Kashmir region declares autonomy

The northern regions of India and Pakistan, known as Kashmir, declared full independence yesterday in the midst of severe conflicts across the continent. The new Kashmir government has yet to make formal ties with any nation, and is not yet included as a member of the United Nations. Editorial speculation: Given the immense military power of India, Pakistan, and China, the declaration of autonomy by Kashmir would most likely have had the approval of the governments of India and Pakistan. However, due to the conflict in Iran, no Indian or Pakistani official was available to comment on the developments in Kashmir.

Terrorist bombing in Pakistan

There were several massive detonations deep inside Pakistani territory, targeting both civilians and military alike. These bombs are suspected of being planted by Iranian agents, according to anonymous sources inside of Pakistan. The already hostile relations between Iran and Pakistan were made worse by the incident, causing widespread demonstrations in Pakistan against the Iranians.

Severed head left on Russian government doorstep

In a particularly bizarre turn of events, a Russian military official's remains were found today on the steps of an unnamed government agency building in Moscow. Specifically, the remains were the severed head of the individual. The remains appeared to have been brutalized, and a Czechoslovakian flag was protruding from the gaping eye socket, with a note pinned to the base. The note, written in psychotic handwriting, warned all Russians to be careful who they trust. The Kremlin could not be reached for comment, and the state-run media has refused to acknowledge the story.[/QUOTE]

Pirates raided...
A group of Pirate ships was captured earlier today by the heavy cruiser HMS Melbourn while they were making a break for the suez canal. Their cargo hold was crammed with explosives destined for turkish cities and their capture will undoubtably put more pressure on the pirate groups that raid the indian sea. But it is still unknown whether or not they were working autonimously or they were working on orders by the government.
