GOOD EVENING, I'M JULIA FREKEBERJ AND THIS IS THE SEVEN O'CLOCK NEWS.

RECENT CAR BOMBINGS NEAR SIDOS CITY'S INNER DISTRICTS WHICH LEFT THREE DEAD AND MANY WOUNDED, HAVE NOT COME TO ANY MEANINGFUL CONFUSIONS ALMOST A WEEK LATER. ROBERT LENNINGS HAS MORE.

REPORTER: ROBERT LENNINGS:

THREE WEEKS AGO, GREGOR STREET IN SIDOS CITY'S INNER PRECINCT WAS SUBJECT TO A LETHAL BOMBING. PERPETRATORS WERE QUICKLY IDENTIFIED HOWEVER, WHEN THE TERROR ORGANISATION S.H.I.A., CLAIMED THE ATTACK AS THEIR DOING.

IN A STATEMENT MADE TO THE PRESS VIA ANONYMOUS SOURCES, REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ORGANISATION CLAIMED THAT THE ATTACK WAS IN ORDER TO "MAKE THE CITY EXPERIENCE THE WAR IT HAS NEGLECTED, AND WHICH STILL RAGES IN THE OUTER REGIONS."

AUTHORITIES HAVE GIVEN LITTLE OUTSIDE AN INITIAL STATEMENT ON THE MATTER, LEAVING THE PUBLIC TO WONDER HOW IT ALL HAPPENED. KILLED IN THE ATTACK WERE NEWLY APPOINTED MEMBERS OF SIDOS COUNCIL JOE TASLIM AND HIS TWO EMISSARIES, MICHAEL CANEL AND SAMANTHA TRUDGEN. ALTHOUGH FAMILIES HAVE MOURNED THE LOSS, LITTLE HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED BY THE AUTHORITIES IN WAY OF ARRESTS OR RETALIATION.

I'M ROBERT LENNINGS, SNB NEWS.
