<graphic: UN soldiers dragging Barson away>
In a brilliant tactical strike today, a UN team ambushed a group of Smugglers led by no other than Col. Barson himself. Barson has been leading attacks against Nav-Guild transports recently, preventing elements needed for medical supplies from reaching Mars. Although two soldiers were killed in personal combat against the Smuggler leader, he was at last brought down and his forces dispersed. Barson will be interrogated with a truth serum to discern the location and intentions of the Smugglers, then will be tried in court on various charges, including first-degree murder, grand theft, interference in government business, and destruction of property.
