Aussies find web site to teach terror

CANBERRA, Australia, Dec. 23 (UPI) -- Australian security forces have discovered an Indonesian Web site teaching how to murder Westerners.

The Indonesian site, which was discovered last month, gives potential terrorists highly practical and simple instructions on how to shoot Westerners, throw grenades into cars and attack pedestrians on footbridges in the Jakarta suburb where the Australian embassy is located, The Australian newspaper reported Saturday.

The Web site, called Anshar El Muslimin, warned of attacks against foreigners at shopping centers, sports venues, hotels and Jakarta's zoo.

It showed detailed maps and diagrams of attack sites, as well as escape routes. The site singled out the Kuningan area of Jakarta, which hosts the Australian embassy, the International Trade Centre and the Marriott hotel, the newspaper said.

The site may be linked to the Jemaah Ismailiya group and its most prominent current leader, the Malaysian-born Noordin Top, who is seeking revenge for the death, apparently by self-inflicted explosion, of his chief bomb-maker and right-hand man recently to prevent capture by Indonesian security forces.
