BNN: Terrorist Leader Skeletor Arrested

Los Angeles, California

The War on Terror claimed another victory last night, after the sensational arrest of terrorist leader and skeletal super-villain Skeletor, following a sensational raid on his LA apartment, late last night.

Skeletor - real name Keldor - was led away in handcuffs by police, after officers were tipped off about his location by concerned neighbours.

Got him...an officer leads Skeletor to an awaiting police car.

"There had been a lot of loud music and shouting coming from his apartment," neighbour Jutt Firwad told BNN. "I went to complain about the noise, and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Skeletor standing there, larger than life! He told me to f*** off, and waved a staff in my face, saying he was gonna zap me, so I ran back to my place and immediately called the cops."

The police arrived on the scene promptly, along with the FBI, and some SWAT teams. Mr. Skeletor apparently tried to evade capture by riding off on a large, purple panther, but police marksman shot the panther dead, leaving the fleshless felon stranded. Skeletor was then apprehended in a relatively quick and painless operation, although reports state that one police officer was partially disintegrated in the melee.

It is not known what Skeletor was doing in the USA, so far away from his Eternian lair on Snake Mountain, although evidence suggests that he may have arrived in LA to attend a meeting of a local Infinitist terror group.

Skeletor had eluded capture for many years, despite being on the FBI's Most Wanted list for the best part of two decades. He was wanted in connection with a series of attacks on the royal family of Eternia, as well as numerous counts of torture and cruelty. He was also believed to have possessed weapons of mass destruction, such as the Havoc Staff which was recovered on the scene last night.

President Bush was informed of the arrest in the early hours of this morning, and was said to have been "extremely relieved," and also spoke of a "great validation" for the ongoing War on Terror. Prince Adam of Eternia was also told of the arrest, and expressed his "sincere thanks and admiration" towards the American security forces, although Democrats are demanding that the President explains how such a high-profile terrorist figure could get into the country so easily.

Skeletor's arrest follows hot on the heels of the recent incarceration of Ram Man, one of Skeletor's many accomplices, who was arrested last month. The pair are currently being held in a high-security prison in California, awaiting trial.
