General O'Malley, currently inside the Shillelagh, has released the following information for all Dominion nations to see:
The suspects detained yesterday were, in fact, cronies of the renegade general. After the inept "chase" by the ASFE (the Holy Empress concurs with the opinion that an ASFE officer allowed Trotsky and his men to escape, though she is certain the ASFE itself did not approve of the action), troops under General O'Malley's command cornered the black van in an abandoned lot. The tense stand-off lasted well into the night and into this afternoon, during which it is assumed that General Trotsky delivered his most recent message to the PRRP. After over 30 hours, Trotsky's men surrendered, listing in the interrogation that followed that they neglected to store sufficient water and food inside the van.
Trotsky then remained alone in the black van with the nuclear detonation switch in his hand. He proceeded to break through the strategically-placed blockade that once held him cornered. Holy Army troops would have opened fire on him directly, and thereby killing him, if not for the surety of a nuclear explosion. O'Malley's men persued Trotsky all the way until a tenth-mile from East Shillelagh (or East New Crimea) when the van completely ran out of gas. Trotsky set the timer on the nuclear weapon then ran for the safety of his homeland, and he made it, mostly due to O'Malley's successful concentrated effort on disarming the nuke.
Trotsky is currently located back in PRRP territory and the Holy Empress trusts that he will be treated in regards to international law. The nuclear weapon threat has passed, thanks to the special ops forces under O'Malley. In his honor, the dividing barrier has been renamed O'Malley's Wall.
