The Italedo Police now believe Wednesday’s terror attack was motivated by an obscure cult referring to themselves as the ‘Gikido Creed.’ The investigation remains ongoing and the police stated that more details would be shared as the facts became clear, but stressed that there is no further threat to public safety at this time.
North Liv Commissioner, Major Josiah Marius announced the discovery of five male bodies this morning in an industrial facility near Calputia, North Liv, suspected of being part of a local weapon smuggling network. The North Liv Police Department is currently investigating a series of incidents involving weapon smuggling into the country, and encouraged civilians to report immediately should they encounter suspicious activities.
As the police investigation continues into Wednesday’s terror attack in Italedo, Esfalsa, new reports highlight the role that the Gikido Creed website allegedly played in radicalizing the suspect.

While it is hard to say that they enjoy a “partnership”, at least Kliegme does not hate Rekiva for being communist, with trade being somewhat active between the two)
