Jakarta Bombers 'trained with al-Qaeda'

Indonesia's defence minister has named an Islamic militant group as the prime suspect in the attack on a luxury US-run hotel in Jakarta.
Matori Abdul Djalil said he was "sure" Jemaah Islamiah (JI) was behind the bombing of the Marriott Hotel, in which 10 people died.

He also linked JI with al-Qaeda, saying that members had trained with the group in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The US has warned that militants may be planning more terror attacks against its interests in Indonesia.

1. Please leave your message at the tone-'beep'

Dubya doesn't have time for that al-Qaeda stuff right now, he's got our poor dying troops on his mind. Oh, and that whole North Korea thing. Priorities, priorities, you know.

2. Why the Farting Around in Iraq?

Bush should have emphasized working with/leaning on other countries
like Indonesia instead of embarking on this tragic waste of life and material resources in Iraq.
