Serious attack was ongoing at Konduga, BHT attacking 103bn.

Interrogation could start, something happened which i won't say it here, but it was a mess. Too bad.

The officer there declined and say he will never release those weapons, they are even 10x more sophisticated than what they have there so why can't he be using it.
