27. Terrors Behind Bars

The front page of the local newspaper blasted:

Terrorists Charged and Sentenced to 20 Years Imprisonment

In a closed trial, the supreme judge has issued the maximum verdict against the two terrorists captured two days ago, on 7 charges as follows:
1 - Causing serious damage to other's property
2 - Attempting hijacking of public utility
3 - Causing massive damage to public property
4 - Causing grievious injury to defenders of the state
5 - Causing grievious injury to civilians
6 - Illegal trespassing into country withour proper documentation
7 - Resisting arrest


Under the Internal Security Act, they are now to sentenced to serve at the high-security State Prison with immediate effect. Further investigations will be carried out to determine their country of origin. And they shall not be given the right of trial until such information is found, or they reveal their country of origin.

Several medical officers have claimed and insisted that the terrorists aren't human at all. However, on further probing, they couldn't give a coherent account at all. Nothing could be found in hospital records too. While these incredible claims are being investigated by the police, we can now only believe that these doctors and nurses have been through too much shock and ultrasound brain damage, and have let their imaginations run wild.

According to government sources, the mysterious attackers have identified themselves as "Hoo Ah-mo" and "Hoo Ah-moe", but has refused to reveal any more information about themselves. As this cloud of mystery surrounds them, it leads us to wonder: are they protecting the other three accomplices by withholding information?
