A man (junkmen murder witness) approaches a chair (witness chair) next to a judge's bench (Court of Justice). Underneath the chair is a large, round bomb with a long, smoking fuse (death threat). Standing behind the chair is a blood stained masked man (organized terrorists), holding a crumpleed paper (junkman killing).
