Military spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Danilo Servando said the two bombs used in the attack in Zamboanga city were the same type used in an October 2 bombing that killed a US serviceman and three Filipinos here. Three people were instantly killed when the first explosion hit the Shop-O-Rama department store. Minutes later, two others were killed when a second bomb went off at a nearby store, police said. The blasts are the latest in a spate of bomb attacks in the troubled southern Philippines this month. Shops were shut and schoolchildren were sent home after the explosions. Police bomb squads also blew up five suspicious packages and were checking whether they had contained bombs that failed to go off. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo immediately condemned the latest terrorist strike to hit her impoverished country. National Security Adviser Roilo Golez refused to speculate on possible links to Saturday's deadly bombings on the Indonesian island of Bali, saying officials were looking at the Zamboanga attack as "a local concern". "There is no need to declare a state of emergency and the public has nothing to worry about," Golez said. Servando said police are looking at Abu Sayyaf and its leader Khadaffy Janjalani as primarily responsible for the incident. The group is alleged to have links with the al-Qaeda terror network of Osama bin Laden and had threatened attacks days earlier in retaliation for a recent military offensive against it. However, he said the military was not ruling out other suspects in the bombings. Abu Sayyaf forces are the target of a military operation on the southern island of Jolo where they are still holding three Indonesian seamen and four Christian preachers whom they abducted earlier this year. "We will get to the bottom of this. We condemn this terrorist act," said regional military chief Lieutenant General Narciso Abaya, who has just taken command here. - Sapa-AP --__--__-- Message: 5 From: Seraksatu@aol.com Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 12:18:46 EDT To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: [Eskrima] Programs/VDTAcademy Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Ranking and Programs at the Pusat International VDT Academy From: Pak Vic - Head Instructor and Director International VDT Academy Present Programs Covered and taught by various Instructors: 1.

In addition, this Travel Warning alerts Americans to the ordered departure of U.S. Government personnel in non-emergency positions and all family members. This Travel Warning supersedes the October 13, 2002, Travel Warning for Indonesia. The Department of State warns U.S. citizens to defer travel to Indonesia. The bombing of a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia, along with the current security situation within Indonesia puts U.S. citizens and interests at risk. Americans in Indonesia should evaluate their security posture and consider departing the country. The U.S. Embassy in Jakarta has received information that indicates extremist elements may be planning additional attacks targeting U.S. interests in Indonesia, particularly U.S. government officials and facilities. The attack in Bali, which took place in an area with a large number of foreign tourists, clearly indicates that this threat also extends to private American citizens. As a result of these concerns, the Department has ordered the departure of U.S. Government personnel in non-emergency positions and all family members in Indonesia. All American citizens in Indonesia are urged to consider departing the country. As indicated in the Departments Worldwide Caution of October 10, 2002, as security is increased at official U.S. facilities, terrorists and their sympathizers will seek softer targets. These may include facilities where Americans are generally known to congregate or visit, such as clubs, restaurants, places of worship, schools or outdoor recreation events. Separatist violence in the provinces of Aceh and Papua (Irian Jaya); sectarian and ethnic strife in Central and West Kalimantan, Maluku, North Maluku, Central and South Sulawesi, Yogyakarta, and communal tensions in West Timor have contributed to unsafe conditions in these regions. On August 31, 2002, an ambush in Papua resulted in the deaths of two Americans and wounded seven others. Americans should avoid all travel to the regions of Aceh, Papua (Irian Jaya), Maluku, and North Maluku as these are areas where the Indonesian government has restricted the travel of U.S. and other foreign government officials. Because of the risk of violence, Americans should avoid travel to West Timor, Central and West Kalimantan, Central and South Sulawesi, and Yogyakarta. In addition, social unrest and violence can erupt in with little forewarning anywhere in the country. A series of bombings over the past two years has struck religious, political, and business targets throughout Indonesia. Extremist elements may be planning to target U.S. interests within Indonesia, particularly U.S. government facilities, and also possibly residential, commercial, and other private targets. Circumstances surrounding the September 23, 2002 grenade attack on a vehicle located outside a U.S. government employees residence in Jakarta suggest this may be a part of the extremist groups efforts to advocate attacks against U.S. government interests in Indonesia. Some militant groups, particularly in the Central Java town of Solo (Surakarta), have threatened to sweep Americans from Indonesia and have occasionally intimidated foreign-appearing persons, but security forces have recently prevented them from carrying out their threats. The Abu Sayyaf terrorist groups practice of kidnapping American citizens in the extreme southwest Philippines, near Indonesia, puts Americans in the border regions of Kalimantan and North Sulawesi at potential risk. American citizens who reside in or travel to Indonesia despite this Travel Warning should exercise maximum caution and take prudent measures such as avoiding crowds and demonstrations, as well as locations known to cater primarily to a Western clientele. Americans should keep a low profile, varying times and routes for all required travel, remaining acutely aware of their immediate environment, and notifying the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in case of any change in the local security situation. Indonesias frequent political demonstrations are usually peaceful, but can quickly turn violent with little forewarning and should be avoided. American citizens are urged to treat mail and packages from unfamiliar sources with suspicion. Occasionally, the U.S. mission in Indonesia may suspend service to the public and/or close because of security concerns. When experiencing these situations, the Embassy and Consulate will continue to provide emergency services to American citizens via telephone. Updated information on travel and security in Indonesia may be obtained from the Department of State by calling 1-888-407-4747. The U.S. Embassy in Jakarta can be contacted by phone at (62)(21) 3435-9000. The number for the Consulate General in Surabaya is (62)(31) 567-2287. --__--__-- _______________________________________________ Eskrima mailing list Eskrima@martialartsresource.net http://martialartsresource.net/mailman/listinfo/eskrima http://eskrima-fma.net Old digest issues are available via ftp://ftp.martialartsresource.com.
