MOSS: CA/OCS RYAN HALEY; AF DUTY, CHRIS LAMORA; CMS, DOUG KONEFF; DS COMMAND CENTER, J. WALKER 1. In the early morning hours of February 17, 2009, an apparent attack was launched in the vicinity of the Presidential Palace in Malabo, Equatorial Guineas. While reports remain sketchy, at least two speedboats with armed attackers were apparently engaged by EG military before dawn. Gunfire, to include automatic weapons fire, could be heard for more than an hour from various points downtown near the old port. In response, the GREG has closed the ports of Malabo and Luba as well as airports at Bata and Malabo. 2. GREG officials report the situation is now under contol, and post can confirm that gunfire has subsided. Increased military presence is in evidence around the city. A warden message will be sent out as soon as possible requesting U.S. citizens limit travel to essential activities and to remain vigilant. Post will also distribute the language via local OSAC channels. SMITH |
