A man killed himself by blowing a bomb he carried with him at the Kepunton Church in Solo, Central Java, 10.45 a.m today, injuring 19 others.
In this regards I would like to express my deepest sympathy to those who have been hit by the bomb.
President Susilo Bambang Yudoyono (SBY) condemned the bombing, saying that it is the work of the Cirebon Terrorist Group whose member blew a bomb at a mosque in Cirebon, West Java, killing himself and injuring a Police officer on 15 April 2011.
The President also said that preventive and proactive actions shall be taken to find out about this bombing incident.
Further, an internal investigation on the Police, Intelligence and Military units, especially those in Central Java, shall be carried out to find out whether they have coordinated well to prevent terrorist action.
Furthermore, he said that this bombing proves that what he has often warned about terrorists threat is real, not just a make-believe.
I hope that an overall investigation will be conducted immediately to find out who is the suicide bomber, the people behind him and what is the motive, why can it happen ? why can't our intelligence detect it ?

About Justice
" Justice has been done! " That's what U.S President Barack Obama told reporters after he announced that the world terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden has been killed by U.S naval Seals in Pakistan last Monday.
By saying those words, he made it sound as if the killing was legitimate based on the verdict of the court of law, while actually it was based on executive order to avenge the death of thousands of U.S citizens killed by the suicide bombings of the World Trade Center, New York, on 11 September 2001, allegedly instructed by Osama.
The above words reminds me of the lyrics of a song of one of my most favorite rock band YES i.e. Hold On, as follows :

Justice to the left of you
Justice to the right
Speak when you are spoken to
Don't pretend you're right
Life is not for living
It's for fighting and for war
No matter what the truth is
Hold on to what is yours
Jigsaw puzzle traitors
Set to spill the beans
Constitution screw up
Shattering the dreams
Blood flow in the dessert
Dark citadels burning too
Watch! Look over your shoulder
This one is strictly for you
Hold on, hold on

Is the Malaysian Terrorist Dead?
“Alhamdullilah!” (Arabic for Thank God), that's what I said after I heard that the Malaysian terrorist Noordin M. Top was shot dead by Police Special Unit DENSUS-88 on 7 August, at his hideout in Temanggung, Central Java.
I felt very happy because Noordin and another Malaysian terrorist Azhari, who was killed few years ago, have ‘brainwashed’ some Indonesian Muslims to kill lots of people, mostly Muslims, by their suicide bombings in Bali, Jakarta, Poso and Ambon.
According to National Police Chief Bambang Danuri, at almost the same time the Police has also killed two other terrorists and found 500 Kg Explosives in Jatiasih, Bekasi, West Java, which will be used for suicide bombings at the President's private residence located 5 Kilometers from the location and the State Palace during our independence day celebration on 17 August.
Before the above mentioned raids, the Police have arrested five other terrorists.
In spite of the above, there is one big question: Is the body in Temanggung belongs to Noordin M. Top or an Indonesian who act as his decoy?
Bambang Danuri cannot confirm this, he said that the Police need to conduct a DNA Test on the body and check it with the DNA of the relative of anyone suspected including that of Noordin M. Top.
For details, please click here, here, here and here.
Considering the above, I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to our Police especially the DENSUS 88 Unit for their efforts and success. I hope that there will be more success in the future, for which purpose everyone in Indonesia, including the Armed Forces & citizens, should assist and cooperate closely with the Police.

Terrorist Bombings in Indonesia
Since the year 2000, terrorists’ bombings have killed and wounded so many innocent people in Indonesia.
Here is a recap of the tragic incidents I quoted from Kompas newspaper, Saturday 18 July 2009, as follows :
1 August 2000 : Jakarta, Residence of the Ambassador of Philippines, killing 2 people, wounding 21 people;
13 September 2000 : Jakarta Stock Exchange Building, killing 10 people wounding 90 people;
24 December 2000, simultaneously in several cities/towns : Jakarta, Bekasi, Sukabumi, Bandung, Mojokerto, Mataram, Pematang Siantar, Medan, Batam and Pekanbaru, killing 19 people and wounding 96 people;
12 October 2002 : Bali, at Sari Club, Paddy’s Bar, US Consulate, killing 202 mostly foreigners and wounding 300 people;
5 December 2002 : Makasar-South Sulawesi – McDonald restaurant, killing 3 people and wounding 11 people;
27 April 2003 : Jakarta International Airport Terminal 2F, killing 3 people and wounding 11 people;
5 August 2003 : Jakarta, J.W Marriot Hotel, killing 6 people, wounding 152 people;
9 September 2004 : Jakarta, outside the Australian Embassy, killing 6 people
and wounding 168 people;
1 October 2005 : Bali, Raja Bar and Jimbaran Café, killing 13 Indonesians and 9 foreigners, wounding 107 people;
17 July 2009 : Jakarta, J.W Marriot Hotel and Ritz Carlton Hotel, killing 9 people and wounding 55 people.
At present there is a growing resistance in our society against the terrorists i.e. TV stations show devastating effects of the bombing by interviewing many victims who are sufferring. Beside that, the Anti-Terrorists cause: Indonesiaunite in Twitter and Facebook have been strongly supported.
For details on the above, please click here and here.
Considering the above, I hope that the government and its law enforcement agencies would work much harder and better to capture and punish anyone who plan, finance and execute the bombings. And considering that many of the victims are foreigners and the terrorists belong to Jamaah Islamiyah and Al Qaeda, therefore there should very close cooperations with security agencies of other countries.
