	2004 Jakarta embassy bombing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is unclear whether the incident was intended to influence either of the two upcoming regional elections: the final stage of the Indonesian presidential elections scheduled for 20 September, or the Australian elections scheduled for 9 October.
		Minister Downer claimed that a mobile phone text message was sent to Indonesian authorities about 45 minutes before the bomb detonated, warning of attacks unless the leader of Jemaah Islamiah Abu Bakar Bashir was released, and said that the warning was not delivered to the Australian Federal Police until several hours after the bombing.
		Police announced that Azahari Husin, and Noordin Mohammed Top were suspected of being behind the bombing; Azahari was killed in a raid in November 2005, while as of 2005 Noordin remains on the run.

	washingtonpost.com: 3 Fugitive Muslim Militants Suspected in Jakarta Attack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		JAKARTA, Indonesia, Sept. 10 -- Indonesian investigators said Friday that they believed Thursday morning's bombing of the Australian Embassy, which killed nine people, was carried out by three suicide attackers who had eluded a police manhunt after their fellow Muslim militants were captured during raids in July and August.
		The memo focused on potential targets such as embassies, foreign-owned company offices and hotels, and the national police headquarters and counterterrorism training center, the investigators said.
		Though the blast, which rocked the heart of Jakarta's modern financial district, killed nine Indonesians, it caused only minor injuries to staff members inside the well-fortified embassy.

		To insist that absolutely nothing progressive can emerge from the Jakarta embassy bombing in no way minimises the criminal role of the Howard government in creating the political climate for organisations such as Al Qaeda and JI to operate.
		In response to the bombing, Labor leader Mark Latham immediately pledged full support to Howard and deliberately sought to obscure the political issues behind the bombing by declaring that the perpetrators “are evil and barbaric and must be dealt with as harshly as possible”.

	Zionists Nuke The Australian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia
		Surface car, minivan and truck bombs cannot and do not make craters, which presented the Zionist Cabal with a credibility problem so huge, that it arranged for lackeys in Australia to cheat, and actually blow holes in the ground which were later attributed to 'Car Bombs' on television.
		Sooner or later the 'car bomb crater' lie had to be knocked on the head forever, a task which was finally completed on camera by American Special Forces in Louisiana.

		Our national politicians rejected this allegation that we were targeted and assumed the bombing was meant for American and British tourists.

		There has been little debate about the intention of the bombing - the removal of our troops from Iraq, but there is an underlying feeling that the majority of the population is not pleased by our presence, which all comes down to the “Weapons of Mass Destruction” (sounds like a hair-metal band doesn’t it?).
