| 2004-12-18 |
| JAKARTA, Dec. 18 (UPI) -- Indonesian police have discovered nine bombs under a bus seat, days after warnings of possible new terror attack in the country. Santa was making an early start cuz the reindeers are sick with SARS precursors and he was forced to use Public Transport... A cardboard box tucked under the seat held nine cylimders [sic] filled with explosives with one of the cylinders already wired to a detonator. The bus was traveling from the West Java district of Garut to the provincial capital of Bandung. You have to be extra careful with cylimders, y'know. They can morph into cylinders right before your eyes. Oh, and they can 'splode, too. The find came only days after several countries, including the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Great Britain, citing warnings of a new bombing attack advised their nationals to take precautions, including avoiding some hotels. Look out! Beware! See - toldja. The warnings and the bomb discovery prompted police to increase security across the country before the Christmas and New Year holidays. Prolly pretty thin happenings at Christmas in Muslim Indo. Makes it easier for the Terr Guys. See blinking lights? Blow it up. At the same time, a man resembling Malaysian terror suspect Noordin Mohamed Top was arrested in West Java on Friday. Top, along with fellow Malaysian Azahari Husin, has been accused of masterminding several bombing attacks in Indonesia, including the deadly explosion at a Bali nightclub in 2002 and the bombings at the Marriott Hotel in Jakarta last year and the Australian embassy this year.

Mebbe they're worried they have the wrong guy - they don't say it, but mebbe the reporter thinks they all look alike... They got the Top guy, Top. Man, the UPI Editors need help with their headlines, too. |
