Warning sent via text messaging announces Kupang will suffer the same fate as Bali on New Year's Eve. The area is largely Catholic and Protestant. More than 2,000 soldiers and police officers are deployed.
Jakarta (AsiaNews) – Police are on a high state of alert in the predominantly Christian province of Nusa Tenggara Timur (East Tenggara Timor or NTT, the eastern part of the island of Timor) after a series of threats was made against local churches to coincide with New Year celebrations.
On December 28, Radio Timor Voice received an anonymous text message (SMS) via cellphone announcing imminent bombings on the island. It read: “On New Year's Eve, 31 churches in NTT’s capital of Kupang shall receive the same bomb blasts as Bali did last October. [Signed:] From the Jemaah Islamiiyah Chief of the eastern region, Jihad for the Great Prophet Muhammad.”
NTT Police Chief Robert Bellarminus Sadarum said that the threat must be considered “a serious and imminent danger” for the whole Christian community of the island, where Catholics and Protestants represent the majority of the population.
But the NTT chapter of the Indonesian Ulemas Council strongly denied claims that the Jemaah Islamiiyah is operating in the province.
Security officials however are not taking any chances and have deployed about 2,250 soldiers and police officers.
Police Chief Saduram said that “tighter security will be imposed around churches on New Year Eve”.
The police is also urging Kupang residents to be on the look-out for any suspicious outsider and report them.
In the meantime, a statement released by the Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Widodo Adi Sutjipto warns of the real possibility of terrorist attacks in the coming days. His ministry is currently inquiring into possible links between recent bank robberies in Yogyakarta, Jakarta, and Tangerang and terrorism.
According to Widodo, proceeds from the robberies might finance terrorist activities due to shortages in foreign contributions
Retired General Ansyaad Mbai, who now heads the Anti-Terrorism Unit in the Political, Legal and Security Affairs Ministry, said that the 2002 Bali bombing was preceded by a major robbery in Serang, Banten province.
Jihad for the Great Prophet MuhammadOh, yeah. Good times to be had by all when you have one of these babies.
Don't the Muslims ever just get sick of killing other people? Oops. Silly me. (I just slapped myself in the face for that stupid question.)

Some religion of "Peace" no?
Our Govt. says Nothing, does nothing, the UN says nothing, does nothing.
Not one Voice.....This is the End-Times.
soon Christians will be Murdered on the Streets of Major Citys on a Daily basis.
Nope- they never, never do. Psychotic killers get high on murder.
I always wonder why the Christians attacked by this Satanic filth don't fight back the Chicago way? Are they always outnumbered by the Allahpigs?
Even if they are, where are those who will fight back? You know- three mosques for every church attacked?
This one is in serious need of a "Religion of Peace" warning. As usual, we must once again consider just what muzzy community is being threatened by the Christians in the province of Nusa Tenggara? I suspect the number is zero. I doubt that Nusa Tenggara is sending any troops anywhere in the muzzy world. So just what is their sorry beef with these people other than that they don't subscribe to the Death Cult that is islam?
The religion of peace and tolerance has become a sick, sad joke on all of humanity.
Soon? It's happening now! And your right. The silence is deafening.
Most of the West has lost the will to win. If you count all the people of Europe, the USA and Australia, and figure that 90% of Europe has completely given up, and 40% of the USA has completely given up (or maybe 45%), and some number of Australians, and then factor in the fact that the OPINION MAKERS in the west are all 100% lined up against any defensive action of any kind, and you can see how easy it is for the Religion of Psychopathic Murder to commit their daily world-wide crimes.
Bring out the gatling guns and draw a line in the sand.
Persecution bump!
