| Bicycle bomb kills would-be terrorist near Jakarta | |||
| 2010-09-30 | |||
A WOULD-be terrorist died after the homemade bomb attached to his bicycle handlebars exploded on Jakarta's outskirts.
The unidentified 38-year-old was rushed to hospital with face, neck and torso injuries but died within hours. No one else was hurt.
"This is revenge against you, the allies of Satan, who have killed, executed and detained mujahidin (holy warriors)," read the note, shown on Indonesian television. "We are ready to die for this noble religion. "This martyr's bomb is for all you infidels. "We will chase you, even if you run to heaven. "Your death is certain. "Mujahidin still lives in Indonesia." Police sources told local media they believe the man had been targeting a traffic police post but had botched the attack. Islamic militants killed three Indonesian police officers in North Sumatra last week in apparent retaliation for an earlier police raid that killed three militants. Police have killed or arrested scores of suspected terrorists since discovering a Jemaah Islamiah-linked terrorist training camp in Aceh in February.
