"New Terror Threat (to American children) in Indonesia"
The Al Qaeda-linked network that carried out the October 12 nightclub bombings on Indonesia's resort island of Bali is planning to strike international schools in Jakarta, Indonesia, The New York Times reported on Monday, citing Western and Indonesian officials.
The plan to attack Western students at the schools was uncovered in the last few days, and officials said the schools would be closed until at least Wednesday, the Times said in its online edition.
Officials declined to say precisely how they had learned of the plot, but the United States and Australia have stepped up intelligence gathering in Indonesia since the Bali attack, which killed more than 180 people, including many Australians, the newspaper said.
Based on information from Western intelligence agencies, diplomats said the planned attack was directed primarily at the Jakarta International School, (http://www.jisedu.org/) which has 2,500 students, about a third of whom are Americans, the paper said.
Diplomats told the Times the Australian and British schools also plan to close, the report said.
They are to remain closed until Indonesian police provide adequate security, one diplomat told the newspaper.
The plotters are thought to be a cell within the Al Qaeda network of Muslim extremists that has carried out several terrorist actions in Indonesia, and nearly succeeded in blowing up the American, Australian, British and Israeli embassies in Singapore last December, officials told the newspaper.
Don't worry...that is EXACTLY what they will be getting.
We don't need an article to be enraged by the actions of Islam around the world. Wake up.
Good point...I will start with your comments.
Heaven help those who tell the truth about ("attack") islam, the philosophy (as opposed to "religion") of hate and death, because jennings and other free-world socialists are going to attack the truth-tellers vigorously. These liberals are SO predictable, n'est pas?
Political correctness is SO entertaining in its abjectly pathetic sniveling! One of the more amusing socialist-liberal PC statements is that "not all muslims are terrorists", or "it's only muslim extremists who are terrorists", etc.! If these statements were true, the muslims who do not actively engage in terrorist acts would loudly and publically denounce terrorist acts. Instead, they celebrate, either openly or by their deafening silence, thereby proving their support. Actually, I have a problem believing the socialist-liberals are actually stupid enough to believe their own lies, so it's easy to move on to the hypothesis that they, themselves, are supporters of islam and terrorism. Intersting premise, no?
Stay vigilent, stay armed, and never trust a PC socialist-liberal or a muslim!!
