Hotel Bombing in Jakarta

August 5, 2003 Posted by John at 8:04 AM

At least 13 people were killed and more than 140 injured in a bombing of the American-owned Mariott Hotel in Jakarta last night, presumably by Islamofascists. The Sydney Morning Herald describes the scene.

The first verdicts in the Bali bombing trial are due day after tomorrow. No doubt the Islamofascists wanted to demonstrate that they are still in business. The Indonesian government seems to have done an excellent job of cracking down on the following the Bali attack.
