Southeast Asian suicide bombers dispatched to attack Jewish interests: report

More than 200 Southeast Asian suicide bombers have been dispatched around the world with a mission to attack Jewish interests in countries that support Israel, one of the leading Australian newspapers quoted a radical Jakarta-based organization as saying Friday.

These countries include Britain, the United States and possibly Australia, said the daily The Australian.

The newspaper said Asian Muslim Youth Movement (AMYM), a radical Jakarta-based organization, gave it details of the plot Thursday.

The AMYM claimed it was being funded in part with cash donations from two unnamed Australian-Indonesian businessmen.

Suaib Bidu, leader of the organization, warned that thousands more jihadis were preparing to join the resistance against Israel and die as "martyrs."

He said a "passing-out" ceremony for more than 3,000 jihadis would be held Saturday in the Indonesian city of Pontianak on the large northern island of Kalimantan.

While about 200 would be sent immediately to targets aboard, the remainder will be active supporters.

1. Anyone can make a claim like this

Maybe it is true, maybe it isn't. They had no lack of targets before the latest events in Lebanon, anyway.

Amazing how all the English speakers go to Chinese websites to find second hand reports of what Australian newspapers said, isn't it?

3. good point

I just read an Australia news report (Melbourne Herald Sun) which suggests that this story might not be as it appears.

The article I linked was from a google news search.

Apologize for posting a second-hand report from a Chinese source.

Thanks for the catch!
