Indonesian Military Linked to Jakarta Terror Attack

Indonesia's armed forces may have a bloody hand in the massive blast at Jakarta's exclusive Marriott Hotel in earlier this week.

This news will come as no surprise to anyone familiar with the murderous antics of the Indonesian military in East Timor and, more recently, Aceh and Irian Jaya.
According to an Indonesian Government adviser, sheeting blame home to Muslim extremists for the terror attack may be covering up a campaign to oust the President, Megawati Sukarnoputri.

Such suspicians were also raised during investigations into the Bali bombings.

As for Amrozi, the so-called "smiling assassin", does anyone really believe that this dim, ignorant little man could have planned and carried out the bombings wihout significant, sophisticated assistance?

Given the history of the military's involvment in Indonesia's politics and power struggles, there may well be a lot more to the Marriot Hotel bombing than meets the eye.

And after all, the Indonesian generals would not be alone is using the "war on terror" for their own cynical, selfish purposes.

Correct, President Bush and Prime Minister Howard?

Yup! He knew - but he'll never admit it! Here's the latest, from the petulent lips of Madame Alex Dowager herself, according the irrefutable NineMSN: "Australian police were aware of an intercepted email in which the suspected Marriott Hotel suicide bomber said he wanted to launch a terrorist attack, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said."

And this from ABC o­nLine:

"Foreign Minister Alexander Downer says Australia could not have done more to warn travellers about the risk of visiting Indonesia, before last Tuesday's terrorist attack o­n a Jakarta hotel. Mr Downer has confirmed an email intercepted by Indonesian authorities in June revealed plans for an attack in the area of Jakarta's Marriott Hotel."

When the shite hits the fan, watch our slimey scumbag PM find yet another excuse along the lines of "I wasn't informed".
