Weapons Stolen During Bungled Operation
Augmented terrorists made off with a shipment of weapons and banned black market augmentations in Dubai last week, despite Interpol's efforts to stop them.

The merchandise was part of an illegal arms deal being conducted inside an abandoned hotel. The arms dealer, an ex-Belltower operative named John Trent, was killed in the raid.

Bomb Maker Commits Suicide
The woman who made the bombs that blew up Ruzicka Train Station is dead, Interpol confirmed earlier today.

Allison Stanek, a demolition specialist and leader of an augmented religious cult, died while trying to upload her consciousness to a computer. Interpol agents on the scene proved ill-equipped to stop her.

Bomb Maker Captured
Interpol successfully apprehended Allison Stanek, the woman who assembled the bombs that blew up Ruzicka Station. A demolition specialist with ties to an augmented religious cult, Stanek purportedly used parts of her father's custom-designed watches to trigger the bombs.

Interpol hopes her interrogation will shed light on more terror plots.

Search for Bank Robber Suspended
The search for the augmented robber who brazenly tore through the Palisade Property Bank, leaving a trail of bodies in his wake, is on hold. "Obviously, we want to find this madman," State Police declared. "But until Martial Law is lifted, the security of all Prague's citizens takes precedence."

Ex-Belltower Agent Charged with Murder
State Police have arrested Angela Gunn's husband in connection with her grisly death. Johnny Gunn is an augmented former Belltower operative with a history of violence and mental illness. Witnesses say he barricaded himself in his apartment when detectives came to question him. A SWAT team resolved the dangerous standoff.

Killer Still at Large
The prime suspect in the Angela Gunn murder investigation has evaded arrest. Johnny Gunn, husband of the victim, is an augmented former Belltower operative with a history of violence and mental illness. Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to contact the State Police.

Suspect in Murder Investigation Found Dead
The prime suspect in the grisly Angela Gunn murder investigation is dead. Johnny Gunn, husband of the victim, was a former Belltower operative with a history of violence and mental illness. "I was positive he did it," said Karl Montag, the detective in charge of Gunn's case. "Obviously, something's been overlooked."

Anti-Aug Politician Charged with Murder
State police have arrested Radko Perry, a prominent anti-Aug politician, for murdering Angela Gunn.

Karl Montag, the detective in charge of the case, says Gunn planned to expose Perry as a "lecherous hypocrite." Mr. Perry denies the allegations, telling journalists: "I had nothing to do with that poor Aug's death."

Anti-Aug Politician Found Dead
Local politician Radko Perry has been found dead by homicide detectives investigating Angela Gunn's grisly murder.

Karl Montag, the detective in charge of Gunn's case, said that evidence led him to believe Gunn was blackmailing Perry, making Perry a suspect in her death. "Obviously, something more is going on."

Dirty Water: Think Before you Drink
It's depressing to think that half a billion people worldwide didn't have access to clean water in 2028, according to the W.H.O.'s updated report on sanitation.

Well, one year later you can increase that figure by 1.352 million, the soon-to-be-sickened population of Prague. Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, Samizdat has the miserable responsibility to tell you that the city's water supply has been contaminated by toxic chemicals.

And guess what. Courtesy of Picus, nobody was going to tell you. The news giant has been sending their own employees explicit warnings on the water situation while helping the authorities keep everyone else in the dark. Who would have thought, your friendly media watchdog and local government preferring weakened sick people over an angry lynch mob demanding basic rights.

It's not clear at this time what the contaminant might be, but our earlier reporting on the government's blind eye to chemical production runoff standards in the area indicates a likely culprit. While we dig further, we'd advise you to steer clear of the local supply and drink bottled water if your list of hobbies doesn't include debilitating diseases, stomach-pumps, or risk of death.

Have a great day, everyone.
