| Indonesian Police Arrest 13 More Alleged Terrorists |
| 2003-09-16 |
| Indonesian police say they have arrested 13 more people suspected of involvement in a wave of bombings across the country. A police spokesmen says the arrests were made with information obtained from suspects allegedly involved in last month’s car bombing at the J-W Marriott hotel in Jakarta. Indonesian truncheons at work. The spokesman says investigators are still compiling charges against the 13. They are accused of planning a series of new terror attacks, details of which are not available. "We’ll let you know as soon as they stop screaming, er, confessing." On the resort island of Bali Tuesday, an appeals court upheld the death sentence of Amrozi, the first person sentenced to a firing squad for his role in last year’s nightclub bombings in which 202 people died. Known as the laughing bomber, he has said he is proud of his role in the attack, and that he welcomes death as a martyr. You’re welcome. Amrozi’s lawyers plan to file an appeal with Indonesia’s Supreme Court. Guess he doesn’t welcome death that much. Another defendant, Imam Samudra, also has been sentenced to death. He was convicted of masterminding the attack. |

| #1 Sure does appeal a lot for someone welcoming death. Why don't they slip him a razor and let him "prove it, laughing boy" |
