In that ambush, Ibrohim surrounded about 600 America's dogs, the members of Detachment 88 Anti-Terror squad with other combined personnel," said the blogs on one of its posts Wednesday (9/9/2009).

Not only the Police Chief who'v been reviled in these blogs, Police Headquarter's Head of Public Relations Inspector General of Police Nanan Soekarna also be sprayed. Nanan was mentioned as a braggart.

"He (Ibrohim) is being prepared, hidden for preparation, said the Police braggart, laddie Inspector General Nanan Soekarna at Kramat Jati Hospital, East Jakarta," said the author of the blog.

In fact, State Secretary Hatta Rajasa also said to boast in his statement that states that President SBY gave appreciation to the Police in the fight against terrorism. "According to State Secretary Hatta Rajasa, it does not affect the appreciation of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on police work. The President was not disappointed.

"The President does not disappointed, he even giving appreciation over the efforts of the Indonesia's police to arrest a number of terrorists recently," said Minister of State Secretary (Mensesneg) Hatta Rajasa after accompanying President Yudhoyono to receive four new ambassadors from friendly countries at Merdeka Palace, Jakarta, on Wednesday.

According to Hatta, the success of the Police dismantle terrorist networks and capture the perpetrators of bombardment in Hotel Ritz Carlton and JW Marriott on 17 July must be appreciated by the whole part of society, even though Noordin M Top who sought not arrested yet.

"Chasing terrorists do not just glued to Noordin. We are chasing for the group, whoever that is. Do not be wrong, Ibrohim (who were killed by the police in Temanggung) is also the brain of this terrorist group, and not a reckless person," he said.

Despite failing to catch Noordin, Hatta said, the police works to dismantle the network of terrorist can not be blamed, because the results obtained are good enough to capture and kill a number of members of terrorist networks.

"Why catching Ibrohim take 17 hours, it is not wrong. We must give appreciation because not many of countries can dismantle terrorist networks in less than a month after bombardment," he said.

According to Hatta, the fact that there are a lot of the terrorist network members that until now is not caught yet in Indonesia, should be anticipated by creating legislation that can minimize the space for the terrorists.

"It is the time make a product of laws that make us not hesitate to fight terror, in order to protect the community and country. DPR can think about it," he said.

A number of parties doubt the claims of detonation of bombs in the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton which has released through a blogspot's blog recently. Blog with domain www.mediaislam-bushro.blogspot.com loaded information about official statements from the Amir Tandzim Al-Qaidah (a.k.a. al-Qaeda, al-Qaida, al-Qa'ida) Indonesia, Noor Din M. Top. It is said that they claims that the bomb are part of their work.

Doubts is expressed among others by former Mantiqi Jamaah Islamiyah (JI), Nasir Abbas, as quoted by TEMPO Interaktif last night. "The notes there is different than the letters from him that ever been made before," said Nasir.

The claims were sent last July 26 at 22:02 WIB. Previously, the same post also published on July 18 2009, a day after the explosion at the Marriott and Ritz, with an address at www.bushro2.blogspot.com.

However, the claim is clouded by Nasir. They highlights many mistakes, errors and misspellings in those blogposts. The first mistake, according to Nasir, is writing the name "Nur Din", which is separated, while in previous letters "Noordin" was written connected. In addition, Nasir continued, many of the spellings are wrong.

"Noor Din is a smart person. Meanwhile, the spellings in any of those posts are not correct, such as writing Rizt Calrton hotel (should be Ritz-Carlton)," Nasir said. "Moreover, if the writing is in English, he may not do mistakes."

To track who is the owner of those blogs can be difficult to shift easily. If they are an amateur, it will be easily tracked. How, We can ask for a list of IP addresses that uploaded the scripts to the site manager of Blogspot.com, which is Google.

IP address is the address of user's computer (can be tracked from what countries, even from which computers: personal computers, internet cafe, or a computer owned by Internet service providers, such as Telkom or Indosat). From this address can be tracked the phone number and address of the users.

That's when the author of those blogs are an amateur. When smart, they can hide the IP address by using a false address or usually called anonymous IP. For example, if they are from Indonesia, they can use an IP address from Russia to blur it. "However, this also does not mean can not be tracked,"

Roy Suryo, telecommunications observer said. "Sites are false, merely fishing in muddy water."

Deputy of Public Relations Division of Indonesian Police HQ, brigadier general Soelistyo Ishak yesterday stated, "We will not tricked with the recognitions that it is not yet definitive, and will examine the sites to be able to prove the truth."

Key Witness of blasting bombs at the JW Marriott Hotel, Mega Kuningan, South Jakarta, was to identify the man who is suspected of suicide bombing. Brown skin, oval-shaped face, and aged 20-30 years.

"I had to ask the man, where is he going to. Then he said that he would meet his boss, to take orders," said Didik Ahmad Taufik now being treated in the Hospital Jakarta.

Man with high-as much is 172 centimeters then permitted to enter the lounge. Not long after, the man looked around the lounge , before finally walked to the restaurant.

Muslim Lawyer Team / Tim Pengacara Muslim (TPM) states, blasting bombs at Hotel JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton Hotel in the Mega Kuningan, Jakarta is not related to the Jemaah Islamiya (JI). "Please, do not associate the bombings with Jemaah Islamiya organization," said a member of TPM, Fahmi Bachmid.

He asks for the police not to hurry to associates the incident linked to the groups or particular Islam networks. "No matter what the religion in the world, especially Islam does not teach violence," said a former of legal adviser for terrorism actors, Amrozi and his friends.

Related statement of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in the Kuningan bombs was related to the implementation of the presidential election, Fahmi reluctant to give comment. "If the problem is associated with a political, not my comments, because I am not a political person," he said.

However, he was asking all parties to submit the bombing incident that killed nine people and wound 53 to the police. "Let the police work first. Before any disclosure of results, all parties should refrain from conjecture about the perpetrators," he said.

Previously, police have requested informations from 35 witnesses, in order to reveal the identity of the two suicide bombings in those two five-star hotels.

Jemaah Islamiya (JI) is an Islamic extremist group with networks operating throughout Southeast Asia. Members arrested in Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines have revealed that JI links with al-Qaeda.

The JI's stated goal is to create an Islamic state comprising Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the southern Philippines. Three Indonesian extremists, one of whom is in custody in Malaysia, are the reported leaders of the organization. JI began developing plans in 1997 to target U.S. interests in Singapore and, in 1999, conducted videotaped casings of potential U.S. targets in preparation for multiple attacks in Singapore.

JI network in Singapore acquired four tons of ammonium nitrate, which has not yet been found. In December 2001, Singapore authorities arrested 15 Jemaah Islamiya members—some of whom had trained in al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan—who planned to attack the U.S. and Israeli embassies and British and Australian diplomatic buildings in Singapore. Additionally, the Singapore police discovered forged immigration stamps, bomb-making materials, and al-Qaeda-related material in several suspects' homes.

The exact numbers of JI are unknown but press reports approximate that the Malaysian cells may comprise 200 members. The JI has cells in Singapore and Malaysia; press reports indicate the JI is also present in Indonesia and possibly the Philippines.

In October 2002, a bomb destroyed a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia, killing 202 people. In August 2003, an Indonesian court convicted and sentenced to death a member of the Islamist militant group Jemaah Islamiyah for helping plan the attack. Although one-half of the people killed in the Bali attack were vacationing Australians, the convicted terrorist claimed subsequently through his lawyer that "the targets were the Americans and the Jews."

U.S. President Barack Obama stated concern on the tragedy of the Jakarta bombing. He extends condolences and expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy. "I strongly condemn the attacks that occurred this morning in Jakarta, and extend my deepest condolences to all of the victims and their loved ones." Obama said in a press meet as quoted from the Time.com.

The American people stand by the Indonesian people in this difficult time, and the U.S. government stands ready to help the Indonesian government respond to and recover from these outrageous attacks as a friend and partner.

Indonesia has been steadfast in combating violent extremism, and has successfully curbed terrorist activity within its borders. However, these attacks make it clear that extremists remain committed to murdering innocent men, women and children of any faith in all countries. We will continue to partner with Indonesia to eliminate the threat from these violent extremists, and we will be unwavering in supporting a future of security and opportunity for the Indonesian people.
