I think syc covered it. Absolute chaos here.

I'm sorry UT but who does not recognise the 'war' is under way? I mean france does, Australia does, what is your point?

Personally i think the attack is twofold, firstly, its a magnet for foreigners, the club that was specifically attacked was known for Australians, but was in the middle of a tourist zone. Secondly it helps destabilise the government.

Thirdly while it's most like a JI attack Indonesia is full of people who are angry at someone and who have a vested interest in causing trouble, from kopassus to indipendance movements. It's worth noting the recent attacks on a convoy to the freetown mine was most likely doneby the Indo military to give them an excuse to attack the free papua movement.

Latest is 220 dead and around 300 unaccounted. This is going to be messy.
