March 20 attacks

The **March 20 attacks**, also known as **3/20**, was an event where several domestic terrorists blew up the National Congress Building in Ramostown, Ramosland, on March 20th, 2022.

During the attacks, many members of parliament were killed. The attack is widely regarded as one of the most devastating attacks on the country, and is the deadliest terrorist attack to occur in Ramosland since 1812, with about 96 deaths and 317 injuries recorded. It is also widely considered the worst terrorist attack on a first-world country since the September 11 attacks in 2001.

## Before the attack

A couple weeks before the attack, the government of Ramosland received a call from a member of the Stellar Union, an anti-Conservative activist organization, who said "bad things are going to happen to this country, very soon". The people who received the call did not take it seriously, and thought it was some "troll looking for attention".

On March 20, 2022, at around 3 AM RST, four members of the Stellar Union, Ante Golub, Aloyziye Luchich, Miroslav Vukoya, and Ivan Vrana, wearing camouflaged military outfits, snuck into the National Congress Building, and Golub planted a bomb outside of the meeting room. They found out president Jaime Bonamici was going to be in the building later that day, and sought to assassinate him. Bonamici was at the building making a speech at parliament, before reportedly leaving the building approximately 15 minutes before the bomb was set off.

## Attack

At 11:02am RST, while parliament was in session, and the speaker of the house was giving a speech, the bomb outside of the meeting room was set off. At the time of the attack, the speaker was making a speech before a blast came from right outside of the meeting room. Much of the glass on the interior and exterior of the building was broken, and a fire started in the area where the bomb was. Firefighters were successfully able to put out the fire before much of the building could be damaged, but it had already taken a large chunk.

An estimated one-fifth of MPs in the building were killed in the attack. Those who were not killed either were not at the building at the time, survived by escaping, or later succumbed to injuries at the site or on admission to the hospital.

### Aftermath

After the attack, one-third of the National Congress Building had been destroyed. It was decided that the damage was not bad enough for the building to need to be destroyed, and that it would be rebuilt. The renovation project suggests the building will look exactly like how it did before the attacks.

Jaime Bonamici had responded to the attacks later that evening, stating "I am thankful I was had left the building before the bomb had went off", before expressing his condolences, and saying the perpetrators will "be getting a visit from Satan himself". This response was widely criticized, as many felt it was selfish that the first thing he mentioned was that he was okay afterward.

The Stellar Union condemned the attacks, and expelled the perpetrators from the organization.

Parliament had to move to an entirely different building while the National Congress Building was under renovation. They settled on an undisclosed location that will not be revealed to the public, in case any terrorists were to find out. Repair of the building is subject to be completed by June 2023.
