BREAKING NEWS : Suicide Bombing Hit East Jakarta, Indonesia

[Trango Towers]

Question...
In Manchester and in Jakarta they knew within minutes who the bombers were after the attack? Is this really possible?

Condemn the attack totally.

Islamic terrorists with their radical ideology strike yet again. Guess some members here will also blame this attack on U.S/U.K invasion/conspiracy?
Hope none of our citizen was killed, i know there are lots of British citizens who visit Indonesia every year. this will have a negative impact on Indonesia tourism industry unfortunately.

Anyway, RIP to the poor victims.

Very simple logic, Iraq and Afghanistan war. I was one of the stop the war coalition demonstrators in 2002 and speaker after speaker said that the chickens will come home to roost and that's what's happened sadly. British foreign policy is the reason, why else before 7/7 2005 terror attacks not a single muslim terror attack in the UK

Another incorrect statement. Dude, I understand as a member of stop the war coalition(not like wars will ever stop as long as mankind inhabitants planet earth. Lol ) you will hold such views.
For your information, Indonesia(just like Philippines) have been grappling with islamic terrorism long before there was any war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
For Indonesia there were already terror attacks since the early 1980s, for Philippines it dates back even longer . So before blaming every thing on Iraq and Afghanistan war read about about these countries or better still travel there to understand the issue first hand.

Off topic: Do the "Stop the war coalition also protest against Russian involvement in Syria civil war like they do with U.S, U.K and France?

I don't understand the terrorist's logic either... why they targeted this relatively low value (yet easy) target?

What message to convey by targeting the public transport and ordinary people???

I can only think that their objectives are:
- to create panic, destabilization, terror etc to disturb the current govt
- to increase the country risk, when the Wall Street-controlled major rating agencies (Standard & Poor's (S&P), Warren Buffet owned Moody's, and Fitch Group) lower the country rating of INA, the investors may ask for some premium in return, milking the debt issuing country... may also affect the stock exchange giving way to vulture exploit (by folks like Soros)
- to create additional economic pressure to put the blame and bad performance to the ruling govt in preparation for next election (smear the candidate trick), a slowly boiling tactic to make life worsening in all aspects putting the accumulated failure on the current govt
- and perhaps to stimulate the chain-reactions... to encourage other terrorist breed to do the same
- or purely accident, wrong target

This kind of treacherous act just gives credit to the article written by Alan Nairn as posted here.

Well, a 'terror act' can be called so even without any objectives other than to simply terrorize. To inflict fear.

This double suicide bombing near a Transjakarta bus station in Kampung Melayu, East Jakarta, that killed three police officers was an act of retaliation against the police. The bombers were suspected members of similar terrorist networks that attacked police officers in separate incidents in Surakarta, Central Java, on Jl. Thamrin, Central Jakarta, and in Tangerang, Banten.

The police had been seen as protectors of a thogut state that rejects application of Islamic law. In Islamic theology, thogut refers to those who worship anything other than Allah.

The police are the ones who arrest mujahidin (one who engages in jihad) and sometimes kill them in operations.

The purpose of the attack was also to show their presence following numerous police actions in past years that had weakened terrorist groups in the country.

Indonesian National Police spokesman previously said that the police had detected possible attacks in Jakarta, but were not able to identify when or where they might happen.

No country in the world can prevent terrorist attacks. Look at the UK, which has one of the most sophisticated intelligence operations in the world.
