NOX - Late this morning President McCallum confirmed that 20 people are dead from the Nox City explosion suspected to be a terrorist attack.
The FCIS is investigating the bombing as a terroristic bombing as it involves a residential building. Investigators still aren’t sure if the bombing is related to Hamas or another terrorist organization.
“At this time we’re are sure that this bombing was terroristic in nature, and are working as quickly as possible to resolve any issues,” said Sharona Maples, FCIS Director. “We have concluded that the bombing is an isolated incident and are no longer looking for other buildings that would be target of such an event.”
"It is with great sadness that I can officially confirm that 20 bodies were pulled from the rebel of the apartment bombing that took place yesterday morning," tweeted the President. "Amber and I send our deepest condolences and sincerest sympathies to the families of those killed in this act of terrorism."
The President says he will keep in contact with Governor Linda Lee and Mayor Tom Brosnik as the investigation progresses. He also vowed to ‘bring the terrorist(s) to justice.
Governor Linda Lee had issued strict lockdown measures in Nox City and they remain effect until further notice.
FCIS Director Sharona Maples is at ground zero helping to sort through ruble and direct the removal of bodies from the collapsed structure.
”Our investigators and human remains collection teams are working around the clock to continue the collection of evidence,” said Sharona Maples. “It is a very difficult situation right now and we are working as fast as we can to bring this terrorist to justice.”
