Security services have gone into overdrive to establish its source. U.S. chiefs confirmed that a Top Secret U.S. Government Agency operative was arrested on suspicion of contravening the Official Secrets Act and released pending further inquiries. More arrests are expected, while the largest spy hunt in the U.S. for some years continues. EL PRESIDENTE: U.S. GUILTY OF "BLATANT INTERFERENCE" VIOLENCE IN PROVINCIA MIRASOLES J PRESTIGE POINTS Earn prestige points by doing work (liberations, side and story missions) for Guerrillas and the Rioja cartel. Gain rank by earning prestige points, and get rewards when you gain rank. See related story on page 10. J SAFEHOUSES Guerrilla missions unlock more safehouses when you gain rank. Upgrades enhance equipment provided in safehouses. Route into the village of Media Luna in Provincia Mirasoles. President Salvador Mendoza Last week's violent uprising in the capital of San Esperito heralded the start of a coup as the Parliament building was stormed by military forces. Chaos spread to the streets as gunfire rang in the air and the sun set over a weekend of violence. The leader of the uprising and new order is General Salvador Mendoza. In a press dispatch, the new Government claimed to have "freed the nation from a pack of vultures feeding off the corpse of the national constitution." Since becoming president, General Mendoza has brought in "foreign security specialists" to subdue uprisings in the unstable regions surrounding the capital. Asked whether the security specialists are mercenaries, the President scoffed, "I will not stand by idly as parasitic motherless dogs pillage my country." Pro-democracy rebels attack a munitions dump near San Esperito. President Mendoza has accused the U.S. of supporting rebel causes. Mendoza stood firm against mounting pressure from the United States to permit United Nations checks of his anti-drugs program. Mendoza accused Americans of "blatant interference" after the U.S. hinted at its support for the rebels. The U.S. dismissed Mendoza's claims as "paranoid propaganda." Violence erupted in the village of Media Luna as clashes between Guerrilla forces, The People's Revolutionary Army of San Esperito (P.R.A.S.E.) and Mendoza's uniformed militia left five dead. "Mendoza is a rabid dog that should be put to death," said revolutionary leader José Caramicas. "We will not rest until our people are free." Caramicas continued, "You too can start an insurgency in Government-controlled settlements. First, start an attack on the defending forces (police/army). Find a Guerrilla (green ! icon) on the minimap. Press the x button when you see the action icon (page 9). Kill the Government forces to liberate the area and earn rewards and prestige points." Following angry demonstrations elsewhere in the province, Government soldiers have occupied the area to deal forcibly with any further uprisings. President Mendoza released the following statement: "We condemn the shameful act of attacking our officers in Media Luna and know it to be the work of rebel looters. This behavior will not be tolerated." J SAVE GAME Save your game from any save point (located in safehouses). Press the x button to display the save screen. Choose a save slot and press the x button to save. CARAMICAS JAILED José Caramicas, leader of The Peoples Revolutionary Army, was sentenced yesterday to El Grande Fort, the Government's penal institution. President Mendoza defended the verdict, saying: "The sentencing of this terrorist will end rebel violence!" Caramicas' sister, Esperanza, called for a fair hearing for her brother, who she believes is the victim of political conspiracy. She has appealed to the United States to intervene. U.S. intelligence agencies are rumored to be monitoring the situation. Caramicas, a popular hero in many provinces, will be escorted to the Fort under armed guard. Esperanza believes her brother's life will be in danger once he arrives at the prison. 4 5 SAN ESPERITO VANGUARDIA Thursday, April 20, 2006 SAN ESPERITO VANGUARDIA Thursday, April 20, 2006 BASIC CONTROLS left analog stick directional buttons 4/3 directional buttons 1/2 right analog stick Move Cycle weapons Quick access to grapple hook and mines Aim/Camera control Change camera view (3rd person/shoulder) Throw grenade Cycle targets Fire weapon Reload Jump Action/Use PDA Pause Menu Airplane Flying VEHICLE CONTROLS Basic Driving f button l button , button r button d button c button x button q button w button Enter/Exit vehicle Accelerate Brake/Reverse Turn right/left Handbrake Sound horn t button r button l button left analog stick 4/3 c button . button Combat Driving Cycle weapons Aim Fire weapon left analog stick 4/3 right analog stick s button Bank left/right Accelerate Brake left analog stick 4/3 r button l button Helicopter Flying Forward/reverse Turn left/right Increase altitude Decrease altitude left analog stick 1/2 left analog stick 4/3 r button l button MILITARY TRAINING A MUST, SAYS TOP BRASS Take a tip from the General, and learn the game controls by getting your military training in early.
