Bali: Euros on the case...
The European Union is sending a trio of top officials to Indonesia to help in the fight against terrorism following the Bali nightclub bombing.God help us all... The EU would dispatch a "high-level troika to Jakarta in the near future", Danish Foreign Minister Per Stig Moeller said today, after an EU meeting. Lessee, that'd be Chris Patten, Terje Roed-Larsen, and Mary Robinson? Past EU troikas have comprised foreign ministers of the previous, present and future EU president countries. Denmark is currently in the chair. "The European Union will strengthen political dialogue with Jakarta in order to help Indonesian authorities step up their fight against terrorism," Moeller said. "Yasss... Time we had a nice, long chat, isn't it?" Following the October 12 car-bomb attack outside a nightspot on Bali, which killed more than 180 people, the EU pledged to help Jakarta in the fight against money laundering and terrorist financing.
