"BOMBING" CAMPAIGN REACHES AMERIKA

MULTINATIONAL FORCE CLAIMS RESPONSIBILITY

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON, USA, February 20th, 1998 -- Early this morning, the 
armory of the 2nd Battalion of the Washington State National Guard in 
Olympia was "bombed" to protest the imminent bombing of Iraq. A joint 
force comprising the Vancouver-based Ministry of the Environment (MOE) 
and the heretofore unknown Department of Perception Management -- 
Olympia Branch (DPM-OB) claimed responsibility in a communique sent to 
the Olympian and Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspapers.

The joint force "bombing" was conducted in black and green spraypaint. 
Slogans included "No Blood for Oil," "Stop the Killing Machine" as well 
as a mysterious symbol which Olympia police officials described as "a 
circled letter A." The armory stores tanks, jeeps and other materiel for 
the local National Guard. While the armory is not a direct US military 
target, Secretary Kropotkin of DPM-OB vowed to increase the scope of 
their "attacks" if the US-led bombing of Iraq commenced.

The south Puget Sound area of Washington state is concentrated with many 
key US military installations such as McChord Air Force Base, Fort Lewis 
Army Base, Bremerton Naval Base and the Bangor submarine base which 
houses nuclear-powered Trident submarines. There is also a major US Army 
recruiting station in nearby Lacey, Washington and the large Boeing 
aircraft complex which manufactures AWACS.

The perpetrators of this morning's "attack" used two types of "weapons" 
according to experts from US Army intelligence. Preliminary   forensic 
reports indicate the use of an American-made Ultraflat Black Krylon 
Interior/Exterior paint manufactured in Solon, Ohio. The manufacturer 
boasts "No Runs, No Drips." The second type of "weapon" was a TY 6466 
John Deere Agricultural Paint from Moline, Illinois. Experts believe the 
paint can has a 3-5" vertical fanspray pattern and are currently 
conducting tests for lead content.

Yesterday's action marks the first time that a "bombing" has occurred on 
US-soil after three "attacks" last week at US consulates in Vancouver, 
Toronto and Montreal. It also marks the first time that a multinational 
force of Canadians and Americans has come together to carry out a 
"bombing." The Ministry of the Environment is well-known to Canadian 
authorities, while the Department of Perception Management is an unknown 
quantity. The FBI is investigating DPM-OB while the Central Intelligence 
Agency is conducting a review of MOE activities in conjunction with the 
Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS).

Mr. Blue of the Ministry of the Environment is urging other branches of 
the DPM and MOE to begin "attacks" of US and Canadian military and 
diplomatic targets in their local communities to protest the war crimes 
of Western powers in Iraq. CIA, FBI, CSIS and Interpol officials all 
denied that "bombings" would spread in the upcoming days.

"We have things under control," was the only statement made by an 
unnamed source at the FBI.
