Separatists set off bombs in Carruth

Eleven people were killed and at least twenty injured today, including five police officers, in St. Guthbert, Carruth, when two car bombs exploded in the streets near a police station. A Carruth separatist group called the Feohtend Freolsdom Carruth, FFC, or Carruth Freedom Fighters, took responsibility almost immediately, claiming to have targeted the police station because of its role as an "institution used to oppress the people of Carruth." This is the deadliest terrorist attack by any separatist group in several years. The police station was heavily damaged in the blast, and a police spokesman was unable to say whether or not the station could still be used until repairs were made.

St. Guthbert is the capital city of the Arrenlander overseas territory of Carruth, an island off the north coast of Avidna. It has been the site of much violence in the past as separatists continue their fight against the government of Arrenland. Most of the violence in recent years has been contained to assassinations and shootings. This is the first time in over a decade that a bomb has been exploded in a public area. The Chief of Police for St. Guthbert has stated that the investigation into the bombing is ongoing, but that initial findings point to separatists being responsible. General Beorham, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army in the Overseas Territories has vowed to redouble the military's efforts to crack down on separatist terrorism by providing more support to local law enforcement, "among other things."
