Bomb explodes at Bow Point
April 12, 29481 - [Global]
OTPC - Everything seemed to be normal, and another calm night watch had nearly come to an end for our fellow Omni-Tek employees. When suddenly at 01.42 AM a large bomb was brought to detonation near the small relay station known as Bow Point, located in Upper Stret East Bank, resulting in heavy casualties to both civilian as well as military personnel.
The apparent target seems to have been the weekly supply drop, carried out Omni-Trans. The entire crew of 8 civilians, two local technicians as well as 3 Omni-Pol officers were killed in the bombing. An additional 6 Officers have been reported as wounded, but at least 4 other people, including a ranking official, are still missing. It is unknown if they were killed during the explosion, or blown out to sea, due to the shockwave.
It would seem that the bomb itself had been smuggled aboard the transport ship, and then brought to detonation when the crate, in which it was hidden, was moved. Such a device requires a decent level of skill, and it can’t just be done by a group of armatures. The facts that the bomb was never discovered, and the assassin managed to get past the heavy security, have caused some su****ion that this might have been an inside job.
It is impossible, at this time, to be sure who is responsible for the attack due to the heavy conflict between the clans and Omni-Tek. But it would seem that it is a faction with good connections within the corporation.
Stay tuned as we continue to follow the events of this terrorist attack.
