Crime Information
The terrorist organization, Sovereign America, is claiming responsibility for the bombing of substation A-420 and the subsequent power outage and black out of the downtown Los Angeles area. Only City-owned buildings located in the civic center are running under auxiliary power.
Small scale civil unrest in the downtown area has been contained with riot police.
Of more pressing concern is the situation developing at City Hall. Sovereign America members have commandeered the building as their headquarters and have taken the mayor and his staff hostage.
Additional Information
The suspects have issued a list of demands. Demands include the United States resignation from NATO, the dissolution of NAFTA and GATT, and release of four federal prisoners.
Suspects warn that the demands are to be met within set a time line or they will resume the mayhem; alternating between killing a hostage and destroying a city infrastructure until their demands are met.
Location Information
As a protective measure the terrorists have blown up City Hall's two street level entrances, reducing them to rubble. The only access into City Hall is through underground tunnels from the original construction, circa 1928. C Platoon has cleared these tunnels and the building through the 24th floor. D Platoon will enter from this point.
Suspect Information
Sovereign America is a virulent neo-nationalist organization tied to bank robberies, bombings of family planning clinics, and the assassinations of local prosecutors and federal judges. The organization is led by Tobias Stromm. Stromm, an evangelical minister and a one time prominent attorney, has been "underground" for the last six months. During that time, Stromm's followers believed he was communicating with God and setting the course for the movement. Today's reign of terror is the apparent outcome of his six months of planning.
Stromm has refused to negotiate his list of demands and has rejected all incoming attempts at communication.
Highground estimates there are at least ten suspects, including Stromm. All are in full tac gear and carrying automatic weapons except Stromm. Stromm is wearing slacks and a dress shirt and appears unarmed.
