Indonesia Suspect Not Linked to al-Qaida
A man suspected of bombing an American fast food restaurant was trying to commit suicide and has no link with the al-Qaida-linked militant group Jemaah Islamiyah, police said Monday. The man was seriously injured when he detonated a small bomb at an A&W restaurant in a mall in eastern Jakarta on Saturday. He was the only casualty in the attack.

The 36-year-old electrical repairman told investigators Monday from his hospital bed that he was trying to commit suicide, said Police Chief Maj. Gen. Adang Firman, without saying whether he also intended to kill others too. "He was trying to cause a sensation," Firman said. "He said if he killed himself in a normal way it would not be cool."
