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
