| Go Figure? Hotel blast suspect a Bashir pupil | ||
| 2003-08-10 | ||
| INDONESIAN authorities have made a link between a dead suspect in the Jakarta bomb blast and the cleric accused of leading the Jemaah Islamiah terror organisation, Abu Bakar Bashir, who warned the Government yesterday not to "discredit Muslims wanting to perform their religious duties". Like blowing up infidels — don’t talk bad about them — it’s their duty Asmar Latin Sani, 28, who police believe was in the car that blew up outside the Marriott hotel last Tuesday and had helped plan the attack, had attended a hardline Islamic school headed by Bashir. Just another reason to walk this piece of crap into a public square and kill him...slowly...I’m thinking: feed him to pigs a la Hannibal Lector Without citing its sources, Indonesia’s Antara news agency said yesterday that Latin Sani, whose severed head was found on the fifth floor of the shattered hotel, was a graduate of the Ngruki Muslim boarding school in Solo, Central Java, co-founded by Bashir. nice... that’ll be a gold medal in the high jump The school is the centre of the "Ngruki network", boasting alumni such as Mukhlas, now on trial in Bali for co-ordinating the bombings last October that killed 202 people; the recently escaped explosives expert Fathur Rohman al-Ghozi; and Asia’s most wanted terrorist, Hambali, who has been called Bashir’s right-hand man. The link was made as Foreign Minister Alexander Downer confirmed yesterday that Australian Federal Police had been told by Indonesian police before the Jakarta bombing of an email intercepted in June that warned of a possible terrorist attack in the area of the capital where the Marriott was located. "The Indonesians picked up that there was possibly going to be an attack in Jakarta but they didn’t pick up the exact time and the exact location," he said. And didn’t much care Prime Minister John Howard, meanwhile, has warned that the Australian embassy in Jakarta is a potential terrorist target.
Death not an option? Get serious Bashir sent word to 3000 believers gathered in a stadium in Solo for a congress of the Mujaheddin Council of Indonesia, or MMI, thought to be the public face of JI. "Muslims are now being cornered by various parties as trying to topple the Government and as terrorists," Bashir said in an address read by MMI executive chairman Irfan Awwas. truth hurts - especially for islamics "I say: do not be afraid of being labelled as trying to overthrow (the Government) or as terrorists when you are carrying out Islamic sharia (law) in full," Bashir said. "The Indonesian Government must not discredit Muslims wanting to perform their religious duties and should not arrest clerics, religious leaders or religious teachers because that will anger God." Talk to him lately Bashir? Soon....
