Atlanins GÇô An Impetus distribution center burned to the ground earlier today in an act that left 7 dead and 13 more hospitalized. Soon after, Minmatar fringe terrorist group the Bloody Hands of Matar claimed responsibility, issuing a statement saying the attack was revenge for the death of Karin Midular.

According to their statement, GÇ£The assassination of a Ray of Matar at the hands of foreign powers cannot go unpunished. Our anger will not be quenched until the pain and suffering the Minmatar people felt at her loss is revisited on those who perpetrated her death.GÇ¥

The attack came shortly after workers arrived at the facility for their daily shifts. According to reports from survivors, a freight vehicle parked itself in front of the main exit at which point several men in hoods emerged from the rear and began tossing incendiary devices at the building. The truck blocked the exit and, as the flames quickly spread, a stampede broke out as workers rushed to escape out the rear entrance, causing several injuries.

Emergency responders were on the scene in minutes, but by that time the three-story building was in flames. According to officials, a section of the building collapsed, trapping several workers in an underground storage area where they died from smoke inhalation before rescuers could reach them.

The Minmatar Republic and Gallente Federation have denounced the incident as an act of terrorism. GÇ£The Federation has our full support in apprehending these terrorists,GÇ¥ read a statement from Republic Security Services head Adrand Allsvert.

The Black Eagles have similarly pledged to bring the attackers to justice, with Director Mentas Blaque saying, GÇ£The safety of the people of the Federation is my paramount priority. I will stop at nothing to see these criminals brought to justice for their actions.GÇ¥

Prior to this attack, the Bloody Hands of Matar have primarily been known to attack Amarr targets and have been responsible for several high profile bombings in the Empire. Prior to the ascent of Maleatu Shakor to the position of Sanmatar, they had called for Midular's death and have never recanted those statements.

Ok now the minmatar goverment has to find whos responsible of this heinous act against gallente people,and then give them to gallente people to judge them in gallente court( to death).Like our goverment did

It was your failing Gallentean that lead to such and incident occurring.

In the State such and act would never have been committed while our security forces were present. Unlike your lax protocols we pride ourselves on efficiency as well as duty and honour.

Yeah in your "beloved" state you dont need any terrorist organizations,bcause your own state does the terror acts themselves against your own people

The Gallente court didn't judge the Midular assassin to death, but extradited him to the Minmatar Republic, where he was sentenced to death and then executed.

And this place is not to argue about which Empire is better, so you could you be so kind as to shut up?

Yeah in your "beloved" state you dont need any terrorist organizations,bcause your own state does the terror acts themselves against your own people

And thats why minmatars should do the same that our goverment did,and why i should shut up?It is my right to say what i want,because im free citizen of federation.So HELL no i wont shut up

So you want the Matari extradite Matari terrorists into, Minmatar?

And if you didn't know it, GalNet does not equal Gallente Federation, freedom of speech isn't the same here. I created this thread to share the terrorist acts to the rest of the mercenaries, not as an excuse for a baklaand Gallente and a Caldari argue which flawed governmental system is better. If you don't like it, take it somewhere else, but not in my thread.

The group Bloody Hands of Matar just torched an Impetus facility in Atlanins, killing 7 and wounding 13.

Idiots who fight for country. That's all they are.

This may be the act of a single terrorist cell, but you are a fool if you believe this attitude is not bred from within. And as Steadyhand as said, a Matari radical group seeking revenge is by no means a surprise. Had you Gallenteans stopped playing politics for a second and took proper actions seven of your people would still be alive.

Your Black Eagles can hunt down the Bloody Hand of Matar and bring them justice, but do not think for a second that that will end the madness.

Says the person from a nation who is still taking slaves from our lowsec colonies....

We aren't taking slaves....

We are Reclaiming your people in Gods name that you may be stripped of the barbaric practices that keep you ignorant and volatile so that you may earn you place in His kingdom and rise to a state of enlightened bliss where you will join the glorious empire we have built.

As it stands you cling to the dangerous ideals of freedom. But such personal liberties lead to depravity, and from depravity to heresy, and from heresy to damnation of your immortal soul.

We Amarr seek to cleanse you of these ideals so you may walk in His light as you live your lives, and be fulfilled in knowing you have struggled and toiled to serve a higher cause.

Do not be the puppets of the Gallente. The Amarr chose you to become ascendant over the other empires. You and your people are too the chosen of God however your are somewhat misguided children.

As Adamance has stated, the privileged people taken under our wings are embraced with love and will seed a lineage in the peaceful universe to come. What has sprouted from the seeds of the Republic? Radical men and women you cannot contain that bring chaos unto our brothers and sisters? Your pursuit of freedom is done with good intentions, Sir Xander, but many a children raised without the guidance of a Father will spoil to the wicked.

What is your excuse for this extremist group that grew on your soil? What will be your excuse when the next one comes? For the sake of you and all of God's children throughout New Eden, regardless of race, I pray that you recognize this downward spiral.

Then give us the time to rebuild, have you forgotten that we are merely the grandchildren of the founders of our republic. Was not your early founding wrought with the blood of "infidels" on your swords? If it were within my power I would stop this war if for nothing but to let future children of the Matari to be free of your influence. Whether by closed borders or leaving to the Elders sanctuaries.

Except this conflict has spread outside of us. A Matari extremist group has now openly terrorized a Gallente facility. You may not want to accept it, but we are all one people under one race, the human race. Try as you may to close your borders, there is no stopping the natural dispersion of influence we all share with each other.

Touche, I suppose it is inevitable for influences like such to spread. *sigh* It doesn't make it any more comfortable to see thousands of my brothers and sisters die or be enslaved at the hands of Ammarians everyday though. I've lost 3 of my blood-brothers to this damn war, only one of which was a soldier, so pardon me if I seem openly hostile at times. I cannot embrace a god whose servants have cast my siblings into their "hell" if it exists.

As an aside, the Empire's religious imperialism rubs just about everybody wrong who isn't Amarr.

Be that as it may we have a duty to the people of this universe.

Including to those of us who will fight you to the death to keep you away from our homes and families. The State's armed forces have not spent the last century honing themselves towards the goal of being able to defeat "any empire except the Amarr."

If you come to our doors in arms, we will kill you.

I would respectfully advise you to be extremely careful whom you explain your enthusiasm for forced conversions to. We have enough in common for our alliance to be solid, but you may wish to ask the Gallente about the limits of Caldari friendship.
