| FBI Seeks Meaning of a Tattoo |
| 2003-03-13 |
| The FBI is requesting help from anyone who might be able to explain the significance of a particular tattoo identified by a witness from the attack on an Indonesian night-club that killed 190 people last October. The tattoo is described as a standard Christian cross with indents on the ends of each arm and with pink ovals at the ends of each arm. It was observed on the upper right arm of a man whom Australian police describe as, "an Anglo-Arab male" who was seen in the Sari Club in Bali, Indonesia. The club was subsequently bombed in a multiple-explosion attack, killing mostly Australian, European and American tourists. |

| #3 Sorry, Scooter! I meant an FBI source. There are a thousand of them. It could be a crois pattee or crois formee or crois fourchee or lots of others. You have to patiently look through the encyclopedia and match it up like a stamp. Although, they might be grouped according to their broader characteristics. You could probably look it up faster if you're a scholarly priest who is already familiar with many of them. I guess I just don't trust ABC news to relate things accurately from Primary Source. |

| #1 Please give a primary source for your entry. Is there an FBI ref for this? Thank you. BTW, there is no such thing as a 'standard' Christian cross. This is a helluva way to solicit info. Tell them to look it up in a 'dictionary' or encyclopedia of crosses. A scholarly Jesuit or similar priest will have such a reference book which gives all sorts of variations and historical versions of crosses associated with different orders, groups, etc. What do I look like-- the Answer Grape? All right, the simplest thing to do is contact Fordham University and find the right Jesuit. You know, someone like the late Dr. Malachy Martin would have such reference books. Or Notre Dame might have a scholar like that. Sheeesh! They're still mostly Mormans? If they were working with the NYPD, they would have known this. Try Fordham U. I'm annoyed at their approach. Any Irish-American cop going to Fordham Law School could have told them this in a New York Minute. ;-) |
