What the fuck is going on there?

[The studio of Channel 74. Kathryn Alfrey is just saying "...and we
managed to get a /live/ interview with the terrorist at Sea-Tac.
/Now/..." A frame appears and places itself next to Kathryn. It shows
some low-quality picture of a male Eurasian, about 25 years old, in a
grey armored jacket. A nameplate on it reads "Christian O'Toole", while
a caption reveals this is "LIVE!!! from Sea-Tac!". In the upper right
corner you can make out the C74-sign, and, barely, "SecCam 9K-23-A012"]
"Ah, Mr O'Toole, pleased to speak to you, thank you for your readiness
to inform the public about your motives. Now, what /are/ your motives
to hold the whole tower hostage, with /at/least/ 25 pounds of
explosives tied to /yourself/?"
The young man, who looks somewhat nervous - understandable, if what
Kathlyn says is true - hesitates before answering. "Call me Thomas,
please," he answeres, then suddenly he seems to recite something from
memory, "We, the Children of Thunda, accuse the government agent Jason
Lynch to have murdered the freedom-fighter Thunda, and to have done so
without any legitimation. We accuse him of political murder of first
degree. We demand he is extradicted to fair trial in the view of a
public trial, held here, in the view of the world." Thomas hesitates,
then falls silent.
Kathryn waits for a few seconds, then replies "But you and your...
organization can't believe Lt. Lynch will volunteer to be killed?" -
"As I said," Thomes cuts in, "we do _not_ intend to kill him, we will
only ensure he'll explain his doing in a public trial, then we will let
the public decide what's just. We are no killers, we aren't payed by
any government, we are no terrorists..." "Let the public decide? How
will this happ..." Thomas starts screaming, without obvious reason,
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? STOP THIS! STOP IT!" He waves a kind of remote
control around, still screaming, nearly uncoherent: "Let there be
/LIGHT/!!!"
Suddenly there's only static in the frame, before it blacks out.
"We have no idea what happened," a pale Kathryn Alfrey states, but our
people at the scene... yes? Hm... Ah. A Lone Star representative just
announced the so far unidentified terrorist who held Tower B of the
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport hostage for 3 hours just ignated
the explosives he had with him. ... Hm. Obviously, Thomas panicked when
an airport attendant tried to deliver the food he demanded before. So
far it is not known how many casualities there were, but Lone Star
states there were at least four people in the immediate area of the
explosion, and the whole tower's head was blown off. As soon as we get
more information on this incident, you'll get them. Now for the
commercials..."
