Seoul Reconstruction Effort Attacked
A building in the UIG Reconstruction zone in Seoul Old City was rocked by an explosion late Saturday evening. Keng's noodle restaurant was attacked by unknown assailants using a rocket launcher in a drive by shooting. An unmarked van pulled up to the small, independent retailer before firing upon the store and escaping at high speed through the city. A UIG response team was unable to track the van. There were no fatalities and one man, the owner of the store, is in a critical condition in Old Seoul General Hospital.
The UIG suspects that inter-Corporate violence is to blame for the attack and has appealed for witnesses and information. The Eastern bank is still in a state of high alert after a number of terrorist attacks in the last three weeks.

AMS spokesperson Pete Adams said that this range "Represents a giant leap in production techniques and blast calibration. The research being done at our new Jupiter orbital research station is of the highest calibre and AMS is pleased to announce these new products ahead of schedule."
