Argentina:
At approximately 0330 local time on 6 May 2005, an explosive device detonated in front of a Blockbuster video store located in the Ramos Mejia neighborhood in Buenos Aires. According to police reports, the bomb, which damaged the store, contained pamphlets denouncing imperialism and were signed by the Mariano Moreno Liberation Command.

Two other devices were found in front of a Citibank bank branch in Flores and in front of a Mc Donald's restaurant in Once, also located in Buenos Aires.

Indonesia:
Jakarta police officials stated on 6 June 2005 that security has been increased at Western diplomatic facilities and hotels amid intelligence reports indicating that Azahari Husin -- a suspected leader for Jemaah Islamiah -- may be on the outskirts of Jakarta.

Security forces have been placed on high alert; however, police officials state that there is no indication that a terrorist attack is imminent.

The increased security comes after several Western governments issued travel advisories on 3 June warning of the possibility of bomb attacks targeting hotels frequented by Western nationals. It is not known if Azahari's alleged presence prompted these warnings.

Police officials previously stated on 25 May, however, that Azahari's group was planning an attack and had previously issued bomb threats against oil refineries in Kalimantan. Azahari is thought to be involved in the 2002 Bali bombings, the Jakarta Marriott bombing and the bombing of the Australian Embassy.

A later report said the man was speaking in French. What he was saying was not printed.
