Lincoln Chafee (New England Secession)

Lincoln Davenport Chafee (born March 26, 1957-died September 10, 1998) was the third president of the Republic of New England, serving from January 2, 1996 to September 10, 1998. Chafee was the first President of New England to be from the Centrist Party. He was also the first and so far only President of New England to be assassinated,. Chafee was assassinated in Concord, New Hampshire, on September 10, 1996 by Al Qaeda member Usama Al-Kimi, who, after assassinating Chafee, immediately committed suicide.

Chafee became an international political figure for his administration finding where notorious anti-west Al Qaeda terrorists, including Osama Bin Laden, were hiding, and discovering that they had a massive terrorist plans to execute against the United States and other western nations to be set into motion in the late 20th century and early 21st. It is believe that Al-Kimi's assassination of Chafee was due to the fact that his administration successfully brought down most of Al Qaeda and thwarted several attacks.
