Suspicion will fall on the Southeast Asian Islamist militant group Jemaah Islamiyah or its allies. The network is blamed for past attacks in Indonesia, including a 2003 bombing at the Marriott when 12 people died.

The blasts at the J.W. Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels, located side-by-side in an upscale business district in Jakarta, blew out windows and scattered debris and glass across the street, kicking up a thick plume of smoke. Facades of both hotels were reduced to twisted metal. An Associated Press reporter at the scene saw bodies being shuttled away in police trucks.

Alex Asmasubrata, who was jogging nearby, said he walked into the Marriott before emergency services arrived and "there were bodies on the ground, one of them had no stomach," he said. "It was terrible."

but but but.....Obama is the American President now!!! I mean, he even lived there in Indonesia for years! Whatever can the matter be?


Seriously though, this is horrific.

I thought the same, seems terrorism remains despite of Obama being the prez, although they call it something else, something more politely to appease the terrorists, we wouldn't want to piss them off, they might bomb a hotel to retaliate.

I know there is a link, to GWB that is, it just has to be his fault somehow.
