[AlAhram] A female would-be jacket wallahplaced in durance vile Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! last week one day before her planned attack in Indonesia's capital said she took orders from Bahrun Naim, an Indonesian with the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group in Syria accused of orchestrating several attacks in the past year.
Dian Yulia Novi and her husband Nur Solihin were among four suspected Lions of Islam arrested Saturday after police detected their plot to bomb a guard-changing ceremony at the presidential palace. A neighborhood on the outskirts of Jakarta was evacuated after a bomb was found.
Police suspect the four were part of a bad boy network responsible for a bomb-making lab in West Java province that was operating under the direction of Naim.
Novi, a former migrant worker in Singapore and Taiwan, said in a TVOne interview broadcast Wednesday that she learned about jihad on social media such as Facebook. She said she was influenced by articles from an Islamic website on upholding monotheism and defending the caliphate and Aman Abdurrahman, a radical holy man serving a nine-year prison sentence in Indonesia.
The active involvement of a woman in the plot is a new development for violent radicalism in socially conservative Indonesia, where women married to or associated with Lions of Islam have typically stayed in the background.
The 3-kilogram bomb that Novi was to detonate would have went kaboom! as crowds of people gathered to watch the presidential guard changing ceremony, a popular family attraction in Jakarta. In the interview, she revealed a chilling disregard for her fellow Indonesians.
"The target is not ordinary people, not hawkers, not babies. The target is the enforcers of man-made laws," Novi said.
How noble.
Naim "himself has explained that there are spectators," she said. "I would mingle with them ... then I would run toward the presidential guard and explode myself. That will be far from the spectators so they would not be hit directly."
'Tis rumoured that last year she spent her savings buying the Brooklyn Bridge. Her profits from the tolls were to pay for the current project, so we can be grateful she is such a gullible fool.
Naim has been linked by police to several attacks in Indonesia this year including a January attack in Jakarta that killed eight people including the attackers.
Moslem-majority Indonesia has carried out a sustained crackdown on Lions of Islam since the 2002 bombings on the tourist island of Bali by al-Qaeda-affiliated Lions of Islam that killed 202 people. But a new threat has emerged in the past several years from IS sympathizers. Several hundred Indonesians have traveled to Syria to join IS.
Novi said she communicated with Naim on three occasions through the encrypted chat app Telegram and said it was he who decided the target of the attack.
Her husband, Solihin, also interviewed by the TV station, said he married Novi to facilitate her desire to be a suicide bomber.
So much for vows to love, honour, and cherish...
Solihin said he was ordered by Naim to drop his wife at Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, where she would walk for about 500 meters (yards) to the target.
"I did not know what the target was. Only after police revealed the bomb plot, then I realized that the target was the presidential palace," he said.

[Gulf Today] The Abu Sayyaf released three hostages - two Indonesian crewmen of a tugboat and a Filipino businesswoman - due to pressure from what the military called the intensified "search and destroy operation" launched against them by Philippine security forces.
Military spokesman Filemon Tan said the two freed Indonesian hostages were the last two of the seven crewmen abducted by the Abu Sayyaf from an Indonesian tugboat while sailing off the Sulu Sea on June 22. He disclosed the militants turned over the two Indonesian hostages to the Moro National Liberation Front in the town of Patikul, Sulu on Monday but admitted he was not aware that a ransom has been paid.
In a related development, an official of the National Bureau of Investigation reported that a group identified with the Abu Sayyaf freed Filipino businesswoman Clarita Belisario who was kidnapped while working at her gasoline station in the town of Linamon, Lanao del Sur in September.
Jam Dimaporo revealed that Belisario was released after her family paid $3,400 to the abductors representing the fee for her "board and lodging" while in captivity, a euphemism for ransom.
With the release of the two Indonesians, Tan said the Abu Sayyaf are still holding a total of 23 foreign hostages, composed of six Vietnamese sailors, five Malaysians, four Indonesians, one Dutch, one German and one Korean.

[Bangkok Post] Four Thai border patrol officers were slightly injured in a bomb attack while traveling in a vehicle in Narathiwat province on Monday morning.
After being alerted about the bomb, police sent a team of explosive ordnance disposal and forensic officials to the scene. Bomb parts in a steel box indicated around 10 kilograms of explosives might have been used and triggered remotely by radio. A damaged pickup truck and motorcycle were found near the scene. Four policemen were sent to the hospital with chest pains and ringing in their ears.
A preliminary investigation indicated that a team of six policemen were on patrol in a pickup truck and a motorcycle. A kilometer from their base, a bomb planted near a sign was triggered.
