Samudra welcomes Jakarta blast


On the eve of the first judgment day for the Bali
bombers, the accused mastermind of the attack
thanked God for the fatal bombing of a luxury
hotel in Jakarta.

Imam Samudra, 33, said he hoped Tuesday´s
explosion at the Marriott Hotel had killed JEWS
and had been carried out by Muslims.

The Indonesian government has blamed the attack on
Jemaah Islamiah (JI), the terrorist organisation
to which Samudra is accused of belonging and which
is also believed to be behind the fatal bombings
at two Kuta Beach nightclubs 10 months ago.

Only one foreigner, a Dutchman, was confirmed to
be among the 15 people killed in Tuesday´s attack
on the hotel favoured by Western diplomats and
Australian government ministers.

"(I´m) happy. Thanks be to God," the 33-year-old
Samudra declared as he was led out of court after
appearing at a separate trial in Denpasar of a
co-accused Bali bomber.


"If it´s (the work of) Muslims, I´m happy.
Especially if it was for JEWS, hopefully," he said
after shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great) to
the court.

He also singled out Australians for his wrath.

"Go to hell Australia. Where are the Australians?"
he yelled.

Samudra, along with Amrozi and the accused chief
of the Bali bombers, Muklas, all appeared in court
as witnesses in the trial of Mubarok, who is
accused of providing bank accounts and helping to
prepare for the October 12 explosion in which 202
people died, including 88 Australians.

All three accused won the right not to testify
against Mubarok, even though Indonesia´s laws only
allow for blood relations not to testify against
each other.

The so-called smiling assassin, Amrozi, appeared
confident, despite awaiting a verdict on Thursday
on charges that he helped plan and carry out the
Bali bombing....""
