February 17, 2007:
Police and troops on Sulawesi were put on high alert, because military intelligence had picked up information indicating that Islamic radicals from all over Indonesia were moving to Sulawesi in an attempt to launch a spectacular attack on local Christians.
Australia has warned its citizens to stay away from Central Sulawesi, where most of the violence tends to take place. To make matters worse, the Christians are ready to strike back if the Islamic terrorists go after them again.
Over the last few years, some 2,000 people have died in religious strife on Sulawesi. The Islamic radicals need a spectacular operation to revive declining enthusiasm for the cause (of global Islamic conquest). |

Interesting stuff. Indonesia is literally hanging on by a thread right now. So much suffering in that nation. From the floods in Jakarta to the mud volcano

it might be the case that the central government would not be able to maintain control in the event of a serious terrorist attack. |
