State Department Warns of US Travel to Indonesia

Fresh warnings have been issued by the US, UK and Australia about travel to Indonesia after instructions on "how and where to kill foreigners" were found on a militant Islamic Indonesian website. The site is called Anshan El Muslimini. On the site, diagrams are set up on "how to shoot foreigners in Jakarta" and to "throw grenades at traffic jams" in the same city.

The site also suggests that the assassinations take place in the Kuningan area on the streets as well as pedestrian walk ups. The Kuningan area is home to the Australian Embassy, the JW Marriot and the Ambassador Mall. The Australian Embassy and the JW Marriot were the targets of bombings in 2003 leaving 22 dead.

On an Australian Government website www.smarttraveller.gov.au it says, "recent new information suggests that terrorists may be planning attacks to occur before the end of 2005."

Update on Bali Bombing Masterminds

An islamic militant known only as Dulmatin is hiding out in the Philipines along with a Jamaat Islaamyia associate named Umar Patek. Dulmatin is known to be an explosives expert.

Dulmatin is also believed to be responsible for the 2002 Bali bombings which killed 202 people. Because of that incident, the US has placed a $10 million bounty out on him.

Additionally there is a $1 million bounty out for Patek. According to State Department spokesman Sean McCormak, Patek served as an assistant "field commander" in the Bali bombings.

Although his full name is not known, other details have come out about Dulmatin recently. In addition to his explosives expertise, he used to sell pre-owned cars. He hails from Cenrtal Java, Indonesial.

There is also speculation that Dulmatin worked with a fugitive Malaysian militant named Azahari Husin. Together they assembled a large car bomb and suicide vests thata were used to destroy both the Sari Club and Paddy's Irish Pub in the massive 2002 bombing. Dulmatin detonated the car bomb that exploded ourside of Paddy's remotely with a cell phone.

Umar Patek was assistant to "field commander" Imam Samudra who was sentenced to death in September, 2003 for his role in the incident. Indonesian police are certain Patek was one of the ones who mixed the explosives used.

All of this puts authorities in the Phillipines on ultra high alert and has left the Filipino people, Christian and Muslim alike, terrified.
