Nuclear Blast reported in Jackson!

[Jack_www]

At 4:30 AM local time a nuclear blast was report in the city of Greenvile, 100 miles from the Jackson capital. Greenvile has a population of 500,000. Initial reports are not very clear at this time as the bomb just went off minutes ago. One can only imagine the destruction that the bomb caused.

The Government of Jackson has so nothing to add at this point. They say they are still trying to find out what in the world happen, and how the bomb was got to city and weather it was the act of terriorists or of a nation or an a nuclear weapon being shiped throught the city and went off.

The Free Republic of Marijuania offers all support available to Jack. Our terrorist negotiators, social scientists and special forces are on standby, should they be needed.

We do not believe the organisation in Marijuania to be responsible, as we have been using surveillance, and engaging in constant negotiations. However, we will check our intelligence, and arrest anyone involved on Marijuanian soil, and ship them to Jack if that is desired.

Again, we do not believe the Revolutionary Restorers to be responsible, but at this stage, it is inprudent to rule out anything.

If you require medical, military or technological support, or anything else, just ask, we will provide it for free.

The Unified Sheepstan Republics will like to help out. After the attrocity by the Lord Protector, in the fall of the Holy Empire, we would like to offer our nuclear clean up experts to help clean up the mess this is likely to cause.

[Archaic]

The Commonwealth of Alecrast offers its full support to the government of Jackson to help in the restoration and rebuilding process. After the airburst attack against us in the past decade, and the previous blasts during the Chaos Wars, our teams have become highly skilled in such cleanup and treatment situations.

Also, we would like you to know that we have checked our nuclear stores, and have found no weapons missing. All are present and accounted for.

[Jack_www]

We finally have more information on the bomb. It appears to have been a bomb that was arrround 8 Kilotons. We have teams on site grathering smaples to determine were the material that made up the bomb came from. As of now estimates indicate that around 10,000 people have died from the blast, since the bomb was of shuch low level. Most of the city is still standing, but a good protion of it is completely destroyed. We are now in the process of evacuting the city for the time bieing.

FOr the past couple of hours, air defense radars and airtrafic controll radar tapes have been looked at to see if there was any kind of plane to missle that came into Jackson airspace undected, so far we have found nothing on them. Terriorism is one the leading supects, and they would be able to sneak a nuclear bomb in as we have reason to believe they did when Wine's bombs were stolen.

To any nation or group that comited this act, you are placed on notice the USJ does not tollorate the use of weapons of mass destruction. That the people responsible will pay with their lives for what they have done today.

[Whaleboy]

Marijuania has checked and double checked its inventory of nuclear weapons, nuclear material, reactor fuel, and space programme material, as well as mines and pre-processing plants (all the sources of nukes and nuclear material). It all checks out, it was not a Marijuanian bomb .

We have checked all of our intelligence and space-surveillance, we have no information on this blast other that what your government has provided. Our gamma-ray sensors, as well as intelligence on the ground reports no nuclear material in Marijuania, save authorised facilities. Our satellites can detect emissions down to the size of a golf-ball of uranium and marble of plutonium, which is far off critical mass.

Marijuania opens itself up to Jackson intelligence agents (please register with the government or the foreign office), who will have unrestricted access to all of Marijuania, should you for some reason suspect us.

We ask you to consider our approach for dealing with terrorism, we understand fully if you do not take it up, but we have proven it highly successful, not only at dealing with terrorism immediately, but stopping it in the future.

We ask all nuclear-capable nations to post up here whether any of their material is missing or not.

[Urban Ranger]

The Dominion of Noosland reports clear after a complete inventory check of nuclear devices and fissible material as well.

We are collating our satellite data covering Jackson and the surrounding areas in the last 72 hours. The information will be forwarded to the Jackson Embassy when it is finished.

[GeneralTacticus]

Checks of the Centralis nuclear arsenal and all our stockpiles of nuclear material are currently under way. All warheads have been accounted for, along with most of our stockpiles of uranium and plutonium; we are currently going through the last of our stockpiles of these materials.

[Whaleboy]

The Stanleystan regional government also reports no nuclear material or other weapons systems missing. Stanleystan also offers its services to Jackson in this most difficult of times.

[Sheep]

All Treaty of Mt.Gravatt nations have annouced that no nuclear material is missing. However they have a souce that a friendly nation in Civfanatica, Fanaticus has had some material stolen from a facislity in the last year.

[Jack_www]

As of now the city of Greenvile is evacuted. So far about 3,500 people are missing, 10,045 are dead, and 50,678 wounded or sicken by the nuclear blast, and the death tol will rise as many of the wounded will soon die from their injuries.

As of now we are sure no nuclear missles were launched at us, as far as a small plane being able to fly in and set off the bomb, that is possible. Or it could have been hidden in a truck or car. As of now we are sure that the bomb that was set off was similar to the nuclear bombs stolen from Wine some time ago. We have analized the material at the ground zero and found though that it is not from Wine, but this narrows the list of possible supects greatly.

[Jack_www]

We now have reason to believe that the nuclear weapon that was set off in our nation came from Athkala and was of the design of a Wine nuclear weapon. We also have reason to believe that Francesco Gabiadini just convicted of treason had something to do with this bomb.

[Whaleboy]

Is there anything we (as Marijuania and the international community) can do to help?

[Giovanni Wine]

The recent news strucked the Kingdom of Wine immensly, the two nuclear bombs that were stolen from our arsenal were both dismantled under the eyes of the minister of Defense, the Marquis Leone Tigrotti himself.

The second bomb which was later on founded in Athkala was given back to us and dismantled immediatly, although it could be possible that the terrorists may have copied our nuclear technology in the meanwhile. In order to stop the terrorists we need to cut their Uranium supplies, because now they can threaten us with a nuclear holocaust, we don't even know how many bombs have they produced.

All RIAW reports about the Lambrusco bombing and the stealing of those two nuclear bombs are now being sent to Jackson's authorities, as well as some of our dismantling engeneer corpses.

If they are really using our design to create their bombs, we know how to stop them, there are some weaknesses in our bombs that we know of that we may exploit if that is what it takes to disarm the terrorists, (although that will mean that the Kingdom of Wine will have to restart her nuclear program after those weaknesses will be known to everyone)

Wine authorities are helping in any way they can, and our naval and air forces are being placed on full alert and are ready to help Jackson in anything they might.
