A heavily guarded Indonesian court will issue its first ruling on Thursday regarding the deadly bombing incident in Bali last year. The accused, who has confessed to participating in the Bali bombing, shouted 'Allahu Akbar' while waving his fist in the air upon entering the Bali court. The bomber entered the courtroom with a foolish grin. He is charged with aiding in the planning, scheming, and execution of the terrorist bombing in October of last year, which resulted in the deaths of 202 people, specifically targeting tourists. The accused did not confess to being affiliated with the terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah, which is blamed for last year's Bali bombing. According to officials, Jemaah Islamiyah, which claimed responsibility for the Marriott Hotel bombing in Jakarta that killed ten and injured 150, is linked to the al-Qaeda terrorist network. An anonymous individual, in a phone call to the Singaporean newspaper Straits Times, claimed that the Jakarta attack was a 'bloody warning' to the Indonesian government. He also stated that the execution of any Muslim would trigger a wave of terrorist operations in Indonesia and the region. Mr. Alexander Downer, the Australian Foreign Minister, stated that according to news sources, there is a likelihood of further attacks in the coming days.
