The 2020 Olivar Street Bombing was a terrorist attack that occured in the high-end Kingston Neighborhood of Tofino, Zian, Zamastan on Sunday, October 4th, 2020. The bombing was committed by the terror group Al-Fijar and the bomber, Isaam al-Koroma, had intended to detonate the bomb in front of Congressional Hall. However, due to heavy traffic, weather, a car accident, and an altercation with a bystander, al-Koroma decided to detonate the bombing much earlier and farther from the Congressional Hall Capitol Building than intended. The bombing occured in a narrow intersection and outlet area which contained a shopping center, several restaurants, and dining establishments, which meant that at the time of the bombing the area was packed with people due to the coincidental reopening of a popular coffee shop. 109 people, including al-Koroma, were killed in the bombing, and the surrounding buildings sustained heavy damage and partial collapses.
