Indonesian mastermind of Myanmar embassy bomb plot confesses |
2013-12-05 |
[Pak Daily Times] An Indonesian on trial for a foiled plot to bomb the Myanmar embassy confessed to being the criminal mastermind on Wednesday, saying he was "still at war" with anyone oppressing Moslems. Sigit Indrajid, 23, testified that he led a group of Islamic bully boyz that networked over Facebook in a plan to attack Myanmar's mission in Jakarta in May. The group wanted to avenge the harsh treatment of Moslem-minority Rohingya in Myanmar -- an issue that has resonated widely in Indonesia, the world's biggest Moslem-majority nation. |
