News agencies the world over have just received this televised statement from the ruler of Genosha
The liberation of mutant prisoners five days ago from a S.H.I.E.L.D. holding facility was a deliberate act by the Brotherhood. This was a deed of benevolence towards our mutant brethren wrongly incarcerated by reactionary bigots running the American nation's most dangerous organization. The human hostages from the prison have been executed. We hope that S.H.I.E.L.D. will consider this a lesson to correct their wrongdoings and a warning of the lengths to which we are willing to go.
This attack on a S.H.I.E.L.D. facility has until now been largely kept from the media, and S.H.I.E.L.D. officials have been unavailable for comment.</a>
