"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.

I used to have a liberal friend....she often used the phrase "blame the victim" & how terrible that was & how society did that so often..

Maybe you can try this idea with your friend, and it'll resonate with her!

Well well bloody well - seems the Satan worshipping Al Qaeda bastards want to kill children in droves. If I hear another leftist complain about Guantanamo Bay, I'll be tempted to seriously hurt him.

These people are evil. It's time to threaten them with something they cannot possibly withstand. Our threat should be this - if there is one more incident, one more life lost due to Al Qaeda action, we will nuke Mecca. And if any further incidents come up, we will nuke every other holy site they have. Fair warning will be given, civilians evacuated. But we will set the pillars of their religion to burn if they do not stop immediately.

Does she also think we can appease the terrorists so that they won't kill us? If so, how easily she gives over her freedom.

What would be required next for them not to kill us?

[Brad’s Gramma]

Agreed. 100%. NO MORE!!!!!

Pings to the rest of you.

[blackdog]

So what? Arm teachers with Uzi's. End of situation. A lesson in political science.

[AmericanInTokyo]

You are quite reasonable in your anger.

The idea is to remember to try to be just as irate when one of these 'spectacular attacks' is noticed and headed off, as you would be if they were successful.

Its kind of easy to forget these stories. Consider, though, what is happening out there. And that with enough persistence, these scum could actually get several agents through and be successful.

The philsophy of pre-emptive strike is 100% legitimate. I hope we bring everyone of these scheming terrorist feces to their knees in total defeat worldwide. It will be a long, difficult battle.

We owe it to the 800 American school children in Jakarta, Indonesia today, where it is nearing sunup and another day of uncertainty, as we do so many more.

[concerned about politics]

we will nuke Mecca.

We're calling it self defence, THEY're calling it a holy war. If it's a holy war, then Mecca is their home base.
Yep. One more act, and nuke their home base.

Remember, bin Laden wants to bring about a holy war. The response you suggest may be precisely what he wants.

Go to the website of the school posted via the above URL. The moderator took down a copy of the school's logo and website top page. At any rate, kindly take a look at the American and other foreign kids from that school. It will make your blood boil even more, thinking about the scum and scourge of totally corrupt, totally uncivilized radical islamism.

Dear Ivan What are the chances of you moving to the good ol' USofA and becoming an American Citizen. But on second thought, Britian might need you more.

Yes, there is some credence to thinking that if we nuke Mecca that it will make the Muslim world angry. However the Islamists hate us anyway and the only thing they appear to understand is pain. Grab them where it hurts the most and squeeze.

These scum need elimination. It's hard to fathom the PC attitude here by so many. They want to kill us and the libs are afraid to hurt their feelings. Go figure.

I would have nuked Mecca, and all its filthy inhabitants, on 9/12/01...

Along with Kabul, Bagdad, Damascus, Cairo, and I could go on for days.

[Leatherneck_MT]

These maggots just continue to prove how peaceful and kind a religion that Islam really is.

MESSAGE FROM THE HEADMASTER Sunday, 17 November -- 1700 All JIS campuses will remain closed on Monday 18 November and Tuesday 19 November. The Emergency Phone Chain will be activated tonight to this effect and a recorded message placed on the JIS switchboard. A decision as to whether to reopen on Wednesday will be made on Tuesday evening and conveyed to parents as quickly as possible thereafter. Central to that decision will be the response of the Government of Indonesia to embassy requests for a higher security presence at the various international schools in Jakarta. A meeting today of the American and British ambassadors and the Australian charge d'affaires resulted in a decision to request the Jakarta police chief to upgrade security provisions at all campuses. The security officers at each embassy will be presenting specific plans they wish to see implemented. The embassies will also approach the military and request assistance in case the police are unable to provide the required level of assistance. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we try to understand the ramifications of the possible threats to schools registered by the embassies. JIS administrators are in regular contact with embassy and private security staff members and the advice they give us is central to the decisions we take. The safety and security of JIS students and staff are of paramount importance in all our actions. Dr Niall C W Nelson Headmaster

We're calling it self defence, THEY're calling it a holy war. If it's a holy war, then Mecca is their home base

And if they retaliate, we take out Medina. If they retaliate for that, we destroy their holy sites one by one - turn the mosque in Jerusalem into a synogogue.
