| Indonesia Backs UN Move on Group |
| 2002-10-24 |
| Indonesia pledged its support Thursday for a United Nations effort to list Jemaah Islamiyah as a terrorist organization. The move would hinder support for the extremist group accused of numerous attacks in Southeast Asia. The United States put Jemaah Islamiyah on its own terror list Wednesday, saying it was linked with al-Qaida. Washington joined a campaign with Australia to bring U.N. pressure on the group following the Oct. 12 bomb attacks on Bali, which killed more than 180 people and injured more than 300. Foreign Ministry spokesman Marty Natalegawa said Thursday that the government supported moves to have Jemaah Islamiyah listed as a terrorist organization. What? No denial of the obvious? "If that is accepted and the United Nations declares Jemaah Islamiyah a terrorist group, we will fully implement that declaration," he said. But Natalegawa challenged the perception that Jemaah Islamiyah is an Indonesia-based group. "Nobody knows where its real base is. A terrorist network is invisible and flexible in character. It can appear anywhere," he said. Yeah, except that its head is an Indonesian, and so's its operations chief. It's international in the sense that it also has some Malays and Singaporeans and Filipinos in its ranks of cannon fodder and it lives on Soddy money... |
