Jemaah Islamiah Banned in Indonesia
(Jakarta, Indonesia) This is welcome news and about time.
THE Indonesian Government has endorsed a court's decision to outlaw the radical Jemaah Islamiah network, sparking intense debate about whether the move is a turning point in the region's battle against terrorism.Kristiarto Legowo of the Foreign Ministry said, "I think the essence here is it [JI] is now banned and that we are all bound by it."
The ban needs to be confirmed by the Supreme Court.
Update by Howie: Speaking of Indonesia, Big White Infidel has much more here at Juba Sucks. Hes' been tearing it up over there. I should at least toss him a link eh?
