## History

### Before

On March 25, 2022, the government of Akhakopi were sent a message from a terrorist organization that called themself *Zaki al-Noor*. Zaki said that in Mid-October, something would happen in the Elisnoy District in Akhakopi. Immediately after they received the message, they got to work into creating bombs to try and stop this organization. Ultimately however, several bombs failed as they would not start, exploded while working on it, or other problems.

After 2 months of trying to stop these people, they eventually gave up. They tried to hire Miyahya into getting bombs, however they didn't get back to them. Once June of 2022 hit, they got another message explaining where they were planning to strike. In the message however, they said that it would only just be an investigation and not anything else. They also attached a magnifying glass to the message, to try and convince the government to not do anything.

It worked though, the government didn't do anything until October hit, the same month the bombing took place. After getting some secretive information from people in Bizipru, Khazan, and more, it found out that it was not an investigation. The government of Akhakopi then started getting into serious work. Especially protecting the Elisnoy District. However, they couldn't protect it in time before the bombing.

### The Bombing

On October 19, 2022, Sabaah el-Dib and Husni el-Abdallah, two people in the Zaki al-Noor terrorist group, dropped a bomb in the Elisnoy Cathedral in the Elisnoy District. Immediately, it killed 9 people and injured another 31. During the fire, three people ran away and were never found again, even by their own families. Those three people would later be presumed dead.

Ambulances and fire trucks quickly came to the cathedral to put out the fire and look for people stuck in rubble or in the cathedral. They found several people who would be rushed to the hospital with concussions, broken limbs, heart attacks, or other serious injuries. Most people however only suffered minor injuries, whether that would be cuts, scrapes, etc.

### Aftermath

A day after the bombing, the president of New Bol came out and expressed his grief for the families and friends of those who died. He then later donated several million Bolian krones to the district, to help rebuild, give to the people in need and families, and other needs.

Two days after the bombing, three people would die from their injuries, as they were very severe. Two of them died from a heart attack, and another died from brain damage.

In 2023, the government stated that they would make a holiday called the Day of Elisnoy to remember the people that died during the bombing.

## Motives

The motives for the bombing are unknown. However, New Bol and Aymakhi were quick to jump to conclusions. They came up with several conclusions on what the motive was behind this, and the best reason could be because of the wrong-doings of the New Bol government and the supportation of several communist nations and a fascist nation. One of the people Zaki al-Noor however came out and said that is not the reason. They said the reason was because the government was so corrupt and "they needed a lesson". Ultimately however, this would be denied by Husni el-Abdallah. He said that there was no motive.
