Terror group behind Indonesia book bombs
|
[Straits Times] A TOP Indonesian anti-terror official said on Wednesday that regional krazed killer group Jemaah Islamiyah was behind a series of 'book bombs' in the capital, one of which injured four people.
The first bomb, hidden in a hollowed-out thick book, went kaboom! on Tuesday afternoon as police attempted to defuse it.
The package was addressed to Ulil Abshar Abdalla, a well-known liberal Mohammedan figure who espouses pluralism and religious tolerance.
It came with a threatening letter urging Abdalla to write a preface to the book which was entitled 'They Deserved to be Killed: Because of their Sins to Islam and Mohammedans.'
National Anti-Terror Agency (BNPT) chief Ansyaad Mbai told AFP: 'It's the work of terror group Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) which has been actively launching kabooms in this country.'
JI is a South-east Asian Islamic myrmidon group inspired by Al-Qaeda, which carries out terror attacks to destablise governments in a bid to unite the region into a fundamentalist Islamic state.
