DEATH EATER ATTACK IN THE MINISTRY...2 OFFICIALS KILLED

A Death Eater attack was launched on the Ministry last night. At approximately 10 PM, last night, the attack took place, killing 2 officials and a janitor.

At about 10 PM, while our minister, Cornelius Fudge, was, according to a ministry insider, eating a doughnut, the Death Eaters shattered a basement window with a spell, and entered the premises. They quickly proceeded upstairs, and soon entered the office of official Percy Weasley. After blasting their way passed him (his body was found unconscious later on), and entered other offices. Though many officials were injured, only two were killed, including Monty Swesinburgh, a janitor who has worked in the ministry for over a decade.

What people want to know is who these Death Eaters are. It seems that all of the fiends are not locked in. It seems the ministry has not been doing as good a job of suppressing You-Know-Who's supporters well enough.
