Millennium City Star Issue 28

REGICIDE, GENOCIDE, SUICIDE - Death of Movilian President sparks all-out-war by Ian Gomez MILLENNIUM CITY. Early this morning, the long-running state of cold war simmering between the two South American nations of Bahilia and Movilia escalated into full-scale war.

This is believed to be, in part, due to the suspected assassination of Movilian President Hector Ruiz Ramos. President Ramos and Madelena Campana - a diplomatic attaché - were found murdered in the offices of the Movilian Embassy Annex building, late last night. No details have been released to the press, but PRIMUS and the DSS are coordinating with Movilian officials in apprehending the culprits.

In a shocking turn of events, the suspected killer is President Ramos' own daughter, Ramona. She was believed to have had an accomplice described as an "average teenage American boy." Rumors of green lights and sulfurous odors before the deaths have not been substantiated.

A group of military advisors have since assumed control of the Movilian government, for "the duration of the crisis."

In a strange, related report, MCPD patrol units responded to the sound of a gunshot at the Mount Olympus Hotel today, discovering the body of Roberto Perez. Perez, a Bahilian businessman accused of several illicit dealing with the Bahilian government, was killed by a single gunshot to the head. The MCPD suspects it to be a suicide.
