| Posted by: Xile May 26 2004, 02:41 PM |
| Today 4:36pm Babylonia Authorities apprehended General Dorian Hadilla today outside the the remains of the Tachbian embassy on charges of conspiracy to assassinate the president, crimes against the nation, and regional war crimes. As he was arrested, a legion of his bodyguards opened fire on the Xilian Special Forces conducting the arrest. After an hour, the violence subsided with two members of the XSF dead, three wounded, and fifteen of Hadilla's bodyguards killed, and twenty-nine wounded. Hadilla states that he 'will not allow such a travesty to commence' and has requested an internation lawyer, should one take up his case. While detained, he has appointed Commander Adonis Lauir as his successor until his charges are cleared. Commander Lauir declines comment on the situation. Lilith Roma, sister of deceased President Aidan, wife of Minister Xian Roma, and chief officer of Xile's Law Department issued the charge for Hadilla's arrest. She has issued a statement looking to the regional council to try the General, and awaits a response. She has also declared Abattoir Prime Minister Aron Lavinsky a fugitive and seeks assistance in his arrest. In Xile he is charged with conspiracy to assassinate President Cannonite. Her husband, Minister of Domestic Affairs, has asked for an emergency meeting of the Xilian Senate to begin the process of electing a new leader. The Senate will convene sometime within the next few days. (OOC: If anyone would like to act as Hadilla's attorney or prosecuting attorney, please step forward and I will pm you details of the case. I plan for the region to make a verdict of his innocence or guilt of the charges.) |

| "Hahaha...they're charging me with what?" "Conspiracy to Assissinate the President sir." "Right right, well, it's not as if I made secret of it. Dorian and myself have been dealing for along time now. What do you suppose I do Herring?" The conference room sat empty, alone from all except two individuals, the Prime Minister and his most trusted advisor. The conversation had been waning as Lavinsky just laughed off the idea of himself being arrested, with Herring continuing to warn him of the seriousness of the situation. "Hang them all, they can try to arrest me if they wish, I'll kill every damn one of them if I must. The nation will simply not allow it." "Yes sir, we have made arrangements to shut down all foreign embassy's within the country and have sent for the return of all our diplomats away on business. However, I think it would be a good idea to alert the military and prepare for the worst" the Internal Affairs advisor replied stoicly. "Yes, yes. Send the word, I want the borders heavily guarded and send word to the navy that I want all foreign ships or planes shot down immediately. Alert Rendition's Congress that I would like a formal meeting with the President, no one need be within 100 miles of our borders without my permission" Lavinsky said with a slight look of worry on his face. "Good day Herring." |

| May the Defendant please plead? |

| Counsel for defense requested and received from Xile, the following list of exact accusations; The accusations - plotting to assassinate the president, starting an illegal war against other members of the region, unjustly firing on the Tachbian embassy. In view of these accusations, and the afforementioned "facts" relating to the accusations, our client pleads not guilty. |
| Posted by: Xile Jun 1 2004, 09:29 AM |
| The 'facts' are for the most part circumstantial, as many members of the military refuse to testify against a general they hold in high esteem. Good candidates for subpoena include... Adonis Lauir - acting commander of Xilian Forces, put in place by General Hadilla Aron Lavinsky - President of Abattoir, a small chance of bringing him to court however, as he could implicate himself in the process. He is also a high profile witness, and could refuse to testify due to his standing in government. Facts were gathered by the Xilian Intelligence Office, and include letters to Lavinsky about eliminating a threat. The sniper that killed the president was also a fierce nationalist believed to associate with Hadilla. The firing on the Tachbian embassy could be blamed on the officer who carried out the attack, as no evidence besides the officers testimony refute this. The attack of East Gate was ordered by the General, which is found in many documents and taped radio communication on the battlefield and may be viewed as a war crime because the nation had been deemed 'neutral' in the conflict. Military members under his command carried out the attack on XSF. Nothing can link him to ordering this attack, however, as he was in custody and monitored at the time. |
