Yesterday at 6:24 PM a local theatre in Sini was blown up by a bomb. Due to a weak structure, the bomb caused the building to partially collapse, killing 103 and wounding another 64 out of the audience of about 250.
One suspect was nearly apprehended but shot himself when cornered. Communist identifiers, including a symbol used by a known communist terrorist group, Worker's Erkettun, were found. It appears the theatre was targeted due to its perceived burgeoise audience. The tragedy has shaken Erkettun, being the deadliest attack to have ever taken place in the country.
Since the suspect shot himself, it has been impossible to gain any more information than what can be taken from the scene and from his body. It appears the man was Hirde Garul, an individual from the Ira Metropolis. An orphan, his family is unknown and there are no leads to trace the organization itself. This makes this the second unsolved case regarding the grouping, after the assassination of Erkettuni Prime Minister Jimbo Dzut 4 years ago. Police suspect a link between the organization and foreign communist powers, however it is impossible to prove due to the lack of evidence.
The 68 dead will be interred at the Sini-Hede Cemetery next Sunday. In addition, several charities have created a joint effort to pay for the necessary operations of the 64 wounded. The Palace in Sobanu has hoisted the black flag in mourning and it will be kept until the funeral ceremonies are done.
