Deadline closes in as helicopter pilot’s life hangs on a thread.
The deadline to release Sergeant Kim Ki Ro is closing in as a Kashgar terrorist group threaten to behead unless demands are met.
Yesterday, Sergeant Kim was piloting a WZ-10 helicopter as part of a bombing mission in Uzbari. The routine round the clock bombing turned out to be diastrous when an RPG-7 downed the WZ-10, severely injuring Kim and instantly killing his co-pilot.
The KLF has made a list of demands to the President if he wishes to see Sergeant Kim alive. They called for the mass repatriation of all Bai Lungese living in the mainland, the removal of all Bai Lungese made buildings and to recognise the Republic of Kashgarstan. The KLF has claimed once all of the criteria has been made to their satisfaction, they will ‘launch him to Bai Lung with a rocket’.
President Im has warned the Kashgar Liberation Front that he would commence tier 2 attack of Operation Mainland Freedom if they behead Sergeant Kim. The President has told media that he will not submit to their proposals and has called for Bashir Farabhazi to surrender himself.

“This is a despicable act made by the KLF who are doing this in the name of a territory that clearly belongs to Bai Lung and the Bai Lungese people. I have only one response to say to the KLF: No negotiations. Release Sergeant Kim in one piece and for Bashir Farabhazi to turn himself to the NBLPF. If my demands aren’t any clearer, then I have no option but to commence tier 2 attacks on Uzbari…”
-President Im
