Violent riots in front of the US embassy in Jakarta

[bigvolt]

Let's see if the other side of this crisis responds in a similar way arresting and bringing to justice the criminals who committed the assassinations.

Red,,,,,While I feel your sentiment ------ I just have this sinking feeling in my gut that there was so much more to the murders of the American diplomats , Intel, Recon Etc.(whatever) It would be exercise in chasing Spooks, or worst yet some innocent person will be accused and die.

Without talking about north korea that had around 50% of his village burned down by napalm bombing...

Hiks, Poor North Korea, the civilians are surely still in a lot of difficulties while the current power holder looks happy with his wife carrying a branded bag...

Innocent people are but victims and scapegoats...

JAKARTA: Indonesian police arrested 11 suspected terrorists on Saturday allegedly planning attacks on the US embassy and an American consulate, a spokesman said.

"The group's objectives were to attack the US embassy in Jakarta and consulate-general in the eastern Javanese city of Surabaya," national police spokesman Suhardi Alius told reporters.

Alius said the group was also targeting a building in the capital near the Australian embassy where the US mining giant Freeport-McMoRan has an office.

"We also confiscated an explosive device from a home in the town of Madiun in eastern Java, as well as explosive materials and a bomb-making manual," Alius said.

Anti-terror police Detachment 88 made the arrests in four cities, including Jakarta, in a sweep on Java, saying that those detained belonged to a new network known as Hasmi.

Explosive materials were also secured from a location in Solo, central Java, and in Bogor on the outskirts of the capital.

Indonesia has faced a series of deadly attacks blamed on the Al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) over the last decade, including the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists.

Indonesia has not seen a major attack since 2009 and authorities say a long crackdown on terrorism has debilitated
JI.

But smaller terror cells aspiring to an Islamic caliphate through violent means have emerged, though none have carried out any serious attacks.
