“Good Evening, here is the news from the BBC studios in London, England. We have just heard within the last few minutes that President Garai Ahmad of Egypt has been shot. We have few details as yet but it seems that President Ahmad was shot whilst watching a soccer match in which his son was playing. Over now to our Egyptian co-respondent: Miles Cochran.”
“Yes things are rather in chaos here in Cairo with police cars screaming around with their lights flashing, a full lock-down of the city is in place and the population are shocked. I am here outside of the main hospital along with most of the world's media, we were told about forty minutes ago that the President is in a very serious condition,” someone out of shot passed Cochran a note, which the reporter quickly read, then he looked back at camera, ”I have just been handed a note that tells me that the outlawed organisation, The Muslim Brotherhood , have claimed responsibility for the shooting. More information as we get it.”
“As Miles said, we will keep you up to date with the situation, in Cairo as it develops.” said the anchor woman in London. “Now the rest of today's news,” she continued, “In the USA the civil liberties organisation ‘US for Us’ has told the government that they will fight the intent by the US military to follow in the steps of the British Ministry of Defence in bringing in sub-dermal bio- passes for all government employees. A demonstration,
the size of which has not been seen since the Vietnam demonstrations of the nineteen-sixties and seventies took place earlier today. Over two-hundred thousand people, mostly government employees, crowded into Washington. Here in the UK the implants have been condemned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Jonathan Benn, who drew the Prime Minister's attention to Biblical prophesies about a similar system, Archbishop Benn said, 'I consider this the thin end of a very thick wedge indeed'. In Paris last night an agreement. . . . One moment we have breaking news, it's back to Miles Cochran in Cairo.”
“You have joined us just as a spokesman from the hospital is about to make a statement,” the shot changed to a picture of a man, dressed in a white cover- all, “Ladies and gentlemen it is my sad duty to announce that President Ahmad died six minutes ago at 20: 07. President Ahmad suffered major trauma to his abdomen and catastrophic damage to his spine from a large calibre high power weapon. We mourn the President's loss with all of Egypt.”
There was a total stunned silence as the man in white returned into the hospital, then the silence exploded into a fury of activity, as camera crews started to pack up equipment and reporters attempted to put words together to describe the scene and the feelings of a nation. Cochran returned to camera, and continued, “Well there we have it, President Ahmad, the most moderate of moderates, is dead, and Egypt finds itself in something of a political vacuum. We have to ask now, what will be the next step, from The Muslim Brotherhood, if any, time will undoubtedly tell. Back to the studio, in London.”
