JI claims responsibility for Jakarta attack
CAIRO (Egypt) - Jemaah Islamiah has claimed
responsibility for Thursday's deadly car bomb attack
outside the Australian Embassy in Jakarta, saying it
was aimed at punishing Australia for supporting the
US-led war in Iraq.
An Internet site known for carrying extremist Islamic
content carried statement purported to have been
written by JI in South-east Asia, but its authenticity
could not be immediately verified.
'We decided to call Australia to account, which we
consider one of the worst enemies of God, and God's
religion of Islam,' the statement said. 'Here we were
able to call it to account today in Jakarta, where one
of the mujahideen (holy warriors) was able to execute
a martyrdom operation with a car bomb in front of the
embassy.'
The attack killed nine people and wounded 180 and came
ahead of next month's general elections in Australia,
whose conservative prime minister has angered many in
the region for running on a pro-American, anti-terror
platform. -- AP
