Exclusive: Leaked KPS Files Reveal Zuhlgani Asylee Behind Assassination Attempt on Krauanaet Lyra Zharan
As the conflict in Southern Cordilia deepens, the Krauanaet administration finds itself in crisis following explosive revelations from leaked Krauanaet Protective Service (KPS) files. According to the leaked documents, the January assassination attempt on Krauanaet Lyra Zharan— long attributed to a lone extremist— was, in fact, carried out by an individual who had been granted asylum from Zuhlgan less than two years prior. The new information has reignited debates over national security, asylum policies, and government transparency.
The documents, leaked by sources within the KPS, reveal that the would-be assassin, identified as Rafaan Vezhk, was a Zuhlgani dissident who fled to Krauanagaz in 2022, seeking asylum under claims of political persecution by the authoritarian regime in Zuhlgan. Though Vezhk was cleared through the standard asylum vetting process, the files suggest that intelligence agencies overlooked past links between Vezhk and Zuhlgani extremist groups aligned with anti-Krauanagazan rhetoric.
The documents reveal that KPS had already flagged the individual as a potential threat months before the attack, but the warnings failed to result in any action. The documents also suggest a pattern of escalating behavior from the suspect, including radical statements online and interactions with individuals believed to have connections to militant groups. The leaked files indicate that internal disagreements within KPS and bureaucratic delays prevented any preventive measures from being taken, despite the warning signs.
