Msnbc: just saw attack in Australia. I missed who but they said it

[cheshire]

was because they supported the war on Iraq. Did anyone see this today?

[skooooo]

4. I think their embassy was hit in Jakarta

Don't think Australia was actually attacked. I hear their president (or w/e) is being villified for supporting the war.

5. Maybe this is what they showed

A MASSIVE car bomb was detonated outside the Australian embassy in Jakarta yesterday, killing at least 11 people, including children, and wounding hundreds just weeks from the federal election and days before the third anniversary of the September 11 US terrorist attacks.

Indonesian authorities immediately named the radical Muslim terrorist group responsible for the Bali attack as the likely perpetrators of the deadly blast that shattered embassy windows, mangled the perimeter fence and killed local security guards and commuters.

No Australian staff were killed but a number were injured in the blast, which left a 3m-deep crater just metres from the embassy's front gate

7. Can't Remember The Name of Group but...

8. It was an attack on the Oz embassy

in Indonesia, a massive car bomb that took out the entire facade of that building, most of which was glass. The death toll was 9, but dozens were injured by flying glass. Check the photo at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5947558/

If Al Qaeda does us any good, it will be by eliminating the glass box as an architectural style. There's not much left of the front of that building.
