RPG attack against airliner in Maseru leaves 240 dead or wounded
AP International
Tragedy has struck today the city of Maseru, capital of Loago as a terrorist attack has left around 240 people dead or wounded. The terrorist group the Loagan League of Communists is reported to have been the perpetrator of the attack, though the LLC itself hasn't yet claimed the attack.
The terrorists have attacked an airliner owned by the Gallegan Airways which was coming from Histria. Originally, the route was serviced by Austral Airlines, the national Loagan aerial transportation service, but since the two have formed an airline alliance, the route was serviced by both companies.
Attackers have used a shoulder held rocked propelled grenade launcher and targeted the engine of the plane, causing its explosion. The plane was targeted immediately as it reached the beginning of the runway, preparing for take off. The blast of the grenade caused the explosion of the engines' tanks creating an enormous firestorm, whose power even broke the closest windows of the terminal.
The police, ambulances and fire fighters were immediately on the scene offering first aid to the survivors. The people seated immediately closest to the wings have been immediately killed in the explosions, with only the people seated at the extremities of the plane managing to survive, though many have their lives still in critical dangers as they have 3rd grade burns on much of their bodies.
The investigation of the police has found the place where the terrorists have fired the grenade and it seemed that they weren't expecting the explosion to be this strong, as they were incinerated by it.
As of yet the Government of Loago hasn't published the full list of names of the victims, but it has been said that 220 have been killed and another 20 to 30 have been wounded. Most of the victims are comming from inside the plane, but some of the victims were airport workers on the tarmac and even some travellers inside the terminal, whom were hurt by the broken glass.The government has issued a red alert in Maseru.
