10 October 2017 Attacks

The 10 October 2017 Attacks, also known as 10 October, October tenth, or 10/10, refers to an attack which took place on that day in which 7 Rotsi extremists directed an attack at the Dominica Tower in downtown Santa Dominica City. The attack resulted in the deaths of more than 560 people and is the worst loss of life in Santa Dominica since the Second World War.

The perpetrators claimed that their attack was directed toward Santa Dominican citizens and the governing Labour Party who was attempting to normalise relations with the Rotsi government. Prime Minister Bernadette Keller called for action to be taken against the extremists, but her weak response to the tragedy is commonly associated with the reason for the Labour Party defeat in the 2017 General Election which took place a month after 10/10.
