When is this going to stop?

Luckily the death toll in this one is very low. Not surprised to see this happen in Indoesia there are a lot of terrorists hidding on some of those islands.

6 dead, 100 wounded, building screwed. Looks like a car or truck bomb and it's no leap of logic to know it's JI back at it again.

Targeted Australia.

Election.

Greeeeeaaaaatttttt.

From what is known, it appears 12 at least dead, 160 injured. it was a car bomb, packed with military grade explosives. Suspicion is immediatly upon JI, the local terrorist organisation in Indonesia. JI did the Bali and Merriot hotel bombings. It was planted right outside the front gate of the Embassy. The Embassy was thankfully fortified with an extremely solid metal fence perimeter. while JI have targeted Westerners before, this is the first time Australian interests have been explicitly targeted. Death toll expected to rise.

The air base near me is a hove of activity as Aust Federal Police and dipomats are obviously shuttled in and the main VIP jet is leaving soon - however other jets have already left.

There is a great deal of Aust anger brewing over this one. I think a lot of very serious questions will need to be answered, the prime one being...

What in God's name were we doing in Iraq when the real terrorists and the real threats to us are in our backyard?
