I’ve decided not to upload the copy of the video I have – as I’m not sure how my web host would hold up. Instead, here’s a link to the footage online via The Australian. I don’t care to show any images of this, but the Indonesian police have released images of the terrorist’s severed heads to aid in investigations and identification. From The Times Online: Investigators hunting for the masterminds behind three co-ordinated suicide bombings on the island ofRead more

*Update* – “The bodies of 22 people were counted in two hospitals – 11 at Sangla and 11 at Graha Asih – officials there said. Close to 50 others were admitted with injuries, many of them serious,including eight Australians and two Americans.” According to the local news, they’ve found 4 bombs that were not detonated.

Becoming An Outcast
Who would have thought that painting my gate would bring such looks of pity? In a country with extremely cheap manual labor, apparently anyone who brings such a task upon themselves is in a new class of oddness.

Indonesian jet with over 100 on board crashes into residential area JAKARTA (Agencies): – An Indonesian passenger plane with over 100 people on board crashed into a residential area shortly after taking off from the northern city of Medan, officials said. The MandalaRead more
