"We completed the mission," said Zamastanian Intelligence Services Director Kirk Faulkman to a stunned press room as the Chief intelligence officer of Zamastan admitted in excessive details that Zamastanian agents assassinated top West Chanchajillan general Derick'a Baana.

After having originally denied accusations by West Chanchajillan dictator Frederick Armbar that Zamastan was responsible, Faulkman said that President Foley Sakzi had approved and ordered the assassination, believed to be the first assassination of a foreign government figure by Zamastanian agents made known publicly since the mid 1970s.

The Zamastanian government, while originally denying playing a role in the killing, confirmed that the Z.I.S. had been conducting extensive surveillance on the late General.

"Zamastan has consistently had it's eye on Baana," said Faulkman, "he and West Chanchajillan military sources have consistently plotted attacks and operations against Zamastanian persons. They've kidnapped multiple of our citizens, killed several of our soldiers, and often threatened our allies with war. They've slaughtered hundreds, committed crimes against humanity, and so much of it spawns from Baana's hands. We are not responsible, but we are not upset with these developments."

Friday's surprise and shocking announcement comes after General Baana had been found murdered in his Rio Palito hotel room on Thursday, paralyzed with an electric shock before being suffocated. Other potential causes of death, including poison, are also being examined. It is unknown who may have committed the murder, but it is believed that multiple killers were involved. Baana's body apparently had signs of torture.

Baana had been in Rio Palito since Tuesday morning, following an attempted coup in West Chanchajilla and mounting tensions in the surrounding countries. Baana used his real passport to enter Rio Palito, according to state officials, even though he owned several others with aliases. He was in the country for several days of official West Chanchajillan government business; the Armbar regime declined to be more specific about the purpose of his visit. West Chanchajilla also said Baana was travelling without his usual contingent of bodyguards.

"We have been planning for scenarios for Baana's elimination since the kidnapping and killing of Captain Federera," Faulkman said, referencing the kidnapping and eventual murder of Zamastanian Army Captain Michael M. Federera while he was on vacation in East Chanchajilla in 1990. "Our intelligence accelerated," Faulkman continued, "once he ordered the execution of dissidents this past week following a failed coup without trial or evidence. Baana has provided weapons and explosives to terror organizations, has propped up terror cells across the region, and as we discovered in our most recent investigations, supported the M.L.F. terrorists on January 2nd."

This new spurge of information came as the Z.I.S. published new findings showing that at least 16 of the 20 terrorists who committed terror attacks in Zamastan on January 2nd, 2020, were harbored by Baana's forces in West Chanchajilla and had illegally entered Zamastan on doctored passports. There is also evidence that other terrorists who struck in Legionas, Gardavasque, Xiomera, and Eiria had been either trained or harbored, if not both, in West Chanchajilla. Explosives used in the ferry bombing in Gardavasque and the Verdesia hotel attack in Legionas were also manufactured in West Chanchajilla. There were also fears that Baana was supplying and hosting more terror suspects for future attacks in Zamastan and Legionas, and that the recent bombing in Jade Harbor that killed 6 people was a West Chanchajillan cell of the Vulkarian-connected M.L.F.

Another page in the report detailed apparent secretive meetings, both personal and digital, between General Baana and M.L.F. terrorist leader Van'a Kamoni, who was the mastermind behind the 1/2/20 Attacks and the key-wanted figure of Coalition operations in Vulkaria.

"We are committed to the protection of our citizens and the citizens of our allies," Faulkman said, "and we will always fight against the forces of evil. The blood of thousands were on his hands, and now he is gone."
