Tensions rise between Ai Jinn and OTF
Diplomatic relations between the Ai Jinn Corporation and the Order of the True Faith are still on shaky ground and may have been made even worse by a comment from Anton Muanda, a high ranking member of Comoros. According to a leaked audio recording taken by a WF journalist at a press conference yesterday, Muanda considers the continued use of depersonalised labour in the Eastern Bank to be "One of the greatest crimes against humanity we have ever faced" and that, furthermore, "The Ai Jinn should be wiped from the Earth for their evil."
The comment is fuelling discontent amongst civilian populations in the some areas, primarily centred around the Kimch'Aek OTF enclave.

EI chopper chase ends in tragedy
A Eurasia Incorporated attack helicopter was involved in a serious accident while pursuing a suspect fleeing a crime in the Madrid area. Reports state that due to a faulty targeting system in one of the Takata laser cannons, the weapon fired upon a civilian vehicle by mistake. Takata representatives have denied this allegation, but EI has sold 5% of its stock in Takata in the last two days. The company says that business will not be affected and its overall stock price has remained constant despite the lack of confidence from EI investors.
Two people died and seven were injured in the accident, which occurred on Saturday 4th at 15:35 on junction 27 of the Madrid cross-city highway.
