Hi USM,
Woke to sad news on the radio this morning...Jakarta was once again rocked by a terrorist attack, in particular the Australian Embassy situated there.
Responsibility for the attack has been claimed by the 'Jemaah Islamiah' group, who has since warned of more if Australia does not withdraw its Forces from Iraq. However, this claim is yet to be officially verified.
The Australia Embassy suffered severe external damage in the Bomb blast. There have been reports of at least nine people killed outside the Embassy in the explosion, though as yet there are no reports of injuries to any of the Embassy's occupants.
New Zealand Prime Minister, Helen Clark, spoke to Australian Prime Minister John Howard within hours of the bombing. She said she was appalled by such a "deliberate and cold-blooded attack". She had conveyed New Zealand's "deep concern" to Mr Howard.
---------------------------------------------------
I just want to extend a message of support, and of love, to and for all Australians on USM...my Aussie Cobbers 'across the ditch'.
The hand of terrorism has reached out and touched your great country...but I hope you also know that the hand of sympathy, friendship and support is also being extended to you at this time.
Be strong...know that you are not alone.
