Terrorist Bomber Breaks Out Of Jail (Indonesia)
Monday September 24, 2007

An Islamist terrorist serving 20 years for a fatal bomb attack on a karaoke bar has broken out of jail in Indonesia. Police try to track down fugitive Jasmin bin Kasau apparently used a rope to climb the walls as inmates were performing communal evening Ramadan prayers in Guning Sari prison on Sulawesi island.

A police spokesman said "negligence" by prison guards was suspected in the breakout. "We have searched his parents' and relatives' houses, but so far we have no clue," he said. Prison officials, including its security chief, have been questioned by police over the escape.

Bin Kasau masterminded a bomb attack on a bar in the Sulawesi district of Palopo that killed four people in January 2004. It followed a series of deadly battles between Muslim and Christian gangs that killed at least 1,000 people in 2000 and 2001. Indonesia has suffered a spate of bomb attacks in recent years, notably the 2002 Bali bombings which killed 202 people. Most of the attacks have been blamed on Islamic radicals from the Jemaah Islamiah militant network.

Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country, and about 85% of its people are Muslims. While the vast majority are relatively moderate, a militant minority has become increasingly violent in recent years.

Female suicide bombers may carry out countrywide attacks, indicates intelligence reports (Pakistan)
9/24/07

Law enforcement agencies have forwarded intelligence reports to the senior government officials regarding suicide attacks expected to be carried out by women bombers across the country, Interior Ministry sources told Daily Times on September 23.

“There are chances that male and female former students of Jamia Hafsa, Jamia Fareedia and Lal Masjid that managed to escape from ‘Operation Silence’ could carry out suicide attacks across the country,” the intelligence agencies’ reports said, according to sources. The report also suspected involvement of students from these madrassas (seminaries) in the suicide bombing on July 17 in Islamabad.

The police seniors across the country immediately issued instructions to keep a close eye on suspicious women wearing shuttlecock burqas and/or youngsters roaming near important installations, especially foreign ones, as well as important personalities, law enforcement personnel and important public and business places, sources said. Intelligence agencies said in the report that the Kernal Sher Khan Shaheed Stadium, at Khyber Road, in Peshawar, would be the likely target of such attacks, since there was a large number of rickshaws and public transport vehicles parked there most of the time.
