Paris Police counted the cost of a weekend of terror as offices belonging to several companies were fire bombed in a forty eight hour period that could cost the city over Sixty Million francs. Six Offices and two hotels were hit by professional arsonists, in two cases burning the whole buildings to the ground, though no bodies have been found in the buildings so far.
The first fire bombs were cast into Templar incs main Paris offices, hitting the twenty-eighth floor of 'Degaul's Tower,' a famous and high security business building, doing significant damage to the main building as well as gutting the floor Templar Inc occupied. With that hit Templar Inc were put on high alert but were unable to stop another of their facilities, a munitions store, from being destroyed by presumably the same Arsonist. Unfortunately the warehouse contained munitions and explosives that tore the building to pieces in a massive explosion, destroying the facility completely and setting fire to neighbouring storehouses that Firefighters then spent twenty hours trying to control.
By Saturday night the arsonist had struck three more times, first torching a small building listed as belonging to Damage Inc, the second to Hammer Industries, and the third a pharmaceutical lab belonging too Longorian Offworld Holdings or L.O.H for short. As those blazes lit up the Parisian night sky a huge explosion rocked the centre of the artists quarter, a large town house was consumed in a gas explosion that collapsed the target building and damaged the square it was situated in. The house itself was listed to be owned by the French Government and is thought to have been used as a safe house for French operatives in times of crisis.
With the fire crews pulled in all directions the final two targets were struck, first a small office listed as being part of the Security firm Black Flag and finally the Hotel La Maltise, an exclusive five star, medium sized hotel that was luckily empty at the time due in no small part to the death of the manager who was murdered in his bed three weeks ago. The hotel was a singular building surrounded by gardens that was consumed by a powerful chain of explosions that originated from the core of the building.
Paris police were quick to blame the attacks on terrorists and claimed that they were pursuing all leads possible and that they were confident arrests would be made shortly.
'We are tracking an individual we believe is responsible for these attacks and have hope that he will be in custody very soon. As a precaution we would ask all businesses to be on high alert and would also request that women in the greater Paris area be aware of a possibly dangerous predator on the prowl who we know would poss a serious threat to lone, undefended women.'
As the police scower the city for the bomber and arsonist reports that La Resistance are being reformed to counter this new threat have not been denied by the authorities.
