Washington, DC- Residents of Washington, DC awoke this morning to the sound of gunfire and small explosions in what appears to be a para-military strike on the nation’s capital. Communications around the nation’s capital have been completely cutoff. Sources claim cell towers and phone services were interrupted at around 5:00am this morning. Reports have been filtering out from those able to escape the city. It appears as though several key buildings have been taken over. The Dept of Agriculture, The Capital Building, Penn Station and the EPA offices are claimed to be occupied by the military group. From buildings in Alexandria, VA, fires and small explosions could be seen around the city. We will keep you updated as information arrives.
UPDATE – At 7:30am, a communication from the military group claiming responsibility for the attack has arrived at our office. “The American Freedom Corp has declared a state of revolution against the current government of the United States. The citizens of this nation are committed to returning our government to the people. We are asking all citizens to take up arms and join the revolution to take back our country”. The US Military has staged forces around the perimeter of the city, and are coordinating their counter attack. Helicopters and F-16’s could be seen flying above the city, and small arms fire appears to be targeting those airships. The president is reported to be inside the White House, and many of the US Senate and Congress are believed to be hiding within the city. No word of demands or any casualties as of yet.
