Dagmer,

Another tragic development after the april massacre of our innocent students,
the ambush of udp militants,
and the arbitrary arrest of civilians and military personnel

Extend my prayers for a speedy recovery  to George and the entire staff of radio
one fm.

Beran

                Glers,

                The owner and proprietor of Radio One FM,George Christensen
escaped with
                substantial burns to his face and body when his radio station
was attacked
                this morning by unidentified thugs.Between 3.00 and 3.30am today
8/10/2000
                close to ten unidentified men armed with teargas and
                petrol(gasoline)surrounded the studios of Radio One FM on
Kairaba Avenue in
                an attempt to burn the station down. The gallant watch man
raised an alarm
                and wrestled the thugs.The lights were smashed and teargas was
used to blind
                the eyes of the occupants,after which the station was set on
fire.
                The latest reports indicate that the rest of the staff on duty,
including
                the DJ escaped unharmed. George Christensen is currently at a
medical
                facility receiving treatment for burns he suffered as a result
of this
                henious act.
                This is the situation as it stands now. May God save our
country.
                Thanks,
                Dagmar
