Indonesia Warns of Bush Terror Threat

[cal04]

Indonesian police warned Saturday that the threat of an attack by al-Qaida-linked militants has increased sharply ahead of U.S. President George W. Bush's visit to the world's most populous Muslim country.

Bush arrives Monday for talks with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono that will touch on the Middle East crisis and the U.S.-led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan - the cause of mounting anger among Indonesia's 190 million Muslims.

Though most people here practice a moderate form of the faith, hard-liners are gaining ground and Jakarta's police chief, Maj. Gen. Adang Firman, told reporters that the threat of an attack by militants had ``escalated sharply'' in recent days.

He did not elaborate or say if a plot by the Southeast Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiyah had been uncovered.

1. Asshole's visit will certainly help the "hard liners". Keep him locked up in WH and

world will be much safer.

2. Truly...

Even at it's high retail price, I think that the cost of a Playstation 3 would be a small price for the nation to pay to insure W's distraction for another 800 days.

3. I'd rather see him kept locked up in a prison cell

Hell keep him in Indonesia... he can fight ther terrorists over there so we don't have to fight them here.

4. The Indonesian military must have given them a hint about their plans.
