Indonesia's defense minister vowed an all-out assault on terrorism after the government claimed for the first time that Osama bin Laden's terror network had operations in Indonesia. The bases were set up byal-Qaida on Sulawesi island, which has been torn by sectarian violence, intelligence chief Abdullah Hendropriyono said Wednesday. He believed the camps were not used by terrorists involved in the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. Until this week, the government has repeatedly denied that al-Qaida or other foreign terrorist groups were working in Indonesia.
That's because in true Boskonian fashion they try to keep under the radar until they're established. Then when they feel they're strong enough the "coincidental" sectarian violence erupts. |
