> Indonesian Islamic extremists' war on those whom they consider
apostates appears to be taking an ominous new turn with the mailing of
bombs concealed in books to apparent opponents. The bombs raise fears
that jihadi terrorists are now broadening their attacks to go after
those who either battle terrorism directly or support a liberal
interpretation of Islam.
>
> An Indonesian antiterror official said late Wednesday that the Jemaah
Islamiyah jihadi group, to which militant cleric Abu Bashir Bakar is
closely tied, is behind the'bombs. Bashir is now on trial in a Jakarta
courtroom, charged with inciting terror.
>
> Although Indonesia has been the focus of a long series of bombings of
hotels and nightclubs including one that took the lives of 202 people
and injured 240 more in Bali in 2002, they have not previously targeted
single individuals.
>
> None of the bombs succeeded in maiming or killing their intended
targets although one policeman attempting to defuse a package had his
hand blown off and two fellow officers were injured. President Susilo
Bambang Yudhoyono Wednesday ordered a probe of the bomb attacks and
expressed sympathy for the victims and their families.
>
> Yudhoyono has come under increasing criticism for what is perceived to
be a lack of political will in seeking to rein in what is believe to be
a small minority of fundamentalists in the community. Islamists have
steadily used their influence in government to provide a legal
foundation for many of the outrages that are now taking place.
>
> As an example of the new strategy, one of the bombs was mailed to
former Commanding General Gories Mere, who previously headed Indonesia's
elite Densus 88 counter-terrorism unit. Abu Bakar Bashir has labeled the
unit as a tool of the United States, Australia and their allies. Bashir
has also accused Densus 88 of being made up of Christian officers.
>
> Mere led a series of successful raids against extremists, many of whom
have been killed by police. He now heads the National Narcotics Agency.
>
> Bashir's trial has in fact become a lightning rod for extremist
forces. The 72-year-old cleric is accused of fomenting violent attacks
and running a training camp for militants in Aceh Province. He has been
described as the ideological godfather of the violent Jemaah Islamiyah
Islamic group, which is believed to have been behind a wide range of
terror attacks including the 2002 Bali bombings.
>
> Bashir has issued a continuing series of outbursts from the courtroom,
including one on Monday when he stormed out of the courtroom after his
lawyer was expelled for the day as well.
>
> The first of the bombs was sent to a liberal Islamic scholar Ulil
Abshar Abdalla, the co-founder of the Liberal Islamic Network. Ulil
wasn't at his office, however. Others became suspicious and reported the
package to police, who attempted to defuse it. The device exploded
inside the network's office in East Jakarta. It was that bomb that blew
off the hand of the officer attempting to defuse it and injured his two
colleagues.
>
> The third bomb was sent to Yapto Suryosumarno, the chairman of Pemuda
Pancasila, or Pancasila Youth. Pancasila is Indonesia's moderate
official philosophy, stressing belief in one god, democracy, social
justice and just and civilized humanity.
>
> Police were said to be hunting Taufik Bulaga, alias Upik Lawang, a
jihadi bomb-maker who in the past has specialized in "booby trap" bombs
which can be concealed inside flashlights and other devices, including
door jams, which exploded when the doors were opened. He remains at
large.
>
> The book bombs are just the latest in a series of disturbing events
that have shaken Indonesia's image as a moderate Islamic nation. In
February, an outraged mob of Muslim zealots descended on the compound of
a small group of Ahmadiyah believers, burning them out and chasing them
through nearby fields. Ahmadis believe their founder was a successor to
the Prophet Mohammed. Three of the Ahmadis were run down by the mob and
beaten to death. Two days later, a similar mob gathered outside the
courthouse in another central Java town demanding death for a man
accused of blasphemy for disturbing leaflets deemed to be insulting to
Islam. Frustrated, they burned down two churches and rampaged through
the town.
>
> Also there is the case of Murhali Barda, a former chapter leader of
the hard-line Islamic Defenders Front, also known by its Indonesian
language initials as the FPI, who was on trial for inciting violence,
and who from the courtroom warned the Batak Christian Protestant Church
against holding prayers in Bekasi, a predominantly Muslim district in
West Java. He was suspended from the Islamic organization after his
arrest in September.
>
> The FPI in particular has increasingly worried members of other
religious faiths and moderates, accosting women wearing what the
organization deems provocative dress, raiding nightclubs and
intimidating non-Muslims. So far, to the dismay of many, authorities
have refused to crack down on the FPI. In fact Yudhoyono late last year
appointed Timur Prodopo to head Indonesia's National Police despite the
fact that he publicly maintains close connections to the FPI.
>
> Pradopo at the time defended his relationship with the FPI, saying
that: "We should be close to all [groups] to maintain security in this
country."
