Sumber: http://asia.news.yahoo.com/041024/ap/d85tlj6g1.html Sunday October 24, 3:28 PM U.S. warns citizens to avoid nightspots in Indonesia after cafe attack The U.S. Embassy warned Americans on Sunday to avoid nightspots in Indonesia for the rest of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan after Muslim militants vandalized a bar in Jakarta. About 300 members of the Islamic Defender's Front broke windows and chairs Friday night at a bar popular with expatriates because it was selling alcohol. It was closed at the time of the attack, and no one was injured. "The U.S. Embassy cautions American citizens to avoid all standalone bars, clubs or nightclubs where similar acts of violence may be repeated," the embassy said in a statement on its Web site. The United States has already warned its citizens to avoid travel to Indonesia because of the risk of terrorism. In the past two years, Indonesia has seen three attacks by al-Qaida-linked militants on Western targets, including the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, most of them foreign tourists. The Islamic Defenders Front, formed in 2000, has a history of vandalizing entertainment centers during Ramadan. Many analysts say extorting money from frightened bar owners _ not Islamic principles _ is its primary motive. The month of Ramadan, which Muslims mark by fasting during the daytime, is often accompanied by an increase in religious fervor. This year it started on Oct. 15 and ends in mid-November. Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation, with about 80 percent of its 210 million people following Islam, but its government is secular. It has significant numbers of Christians, Buddhists and Hindus. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> $9.95 domain names from Yahoo!.
