(Jawa, Indondesia) A new video from Jemaah Islamiah. al Qaeda's Southeast Asia counterpart, warns Australia to pull out of Afghanistan and Iraq or faced renewed acts of terrorism. The video was found ten days ago in a cave on the Island of Jawa (Java in English) after a top Jemaah Islamiah was killed there. The man on the video (shown right) is believed to be Malaysian national Noordin Top, a senior operative of Jemaah Islamiah.
Jawas on Jawa? Indeed.
SOUTH-EAST Asia's most wanted terrorist has warned in a video message seized by Indonesian police that Australia will be the prime target of new "intimidation and terror" attacks while its troops remain in Iraq.In an apparent copy of al-Qaeda tactics, the video features a masked man believed to be Jemaah Islamiah mastermind Noordin Top urging strikes against Australia and claiming Prime Minister John Howard is leading the nation into tragedy.
The video threat, a first for Jemaah Islamiah, was seized when police raided Noordin's Central Java hide-out 10 days ago, soon after his bomb-making partner, Azahari Husin, was shot dead. Farewell video messages from the three suicide bombers who struck Bali in October were also recovered.
Indonesian Vice-President Jusuf Kalla played the videos to Islamic leaders, saying police believed the man issuing the warning was Noordin.
"America, Australia, England and Italy are all our enemies," says the militant. "We especially remind Australia that you, Downer and Howard, are killing Australia, leading it into darkness and tragedy and into mujahideen terror.
"Know that as long as you continue to colonise the land of Iraq and Afghanistan and intimidate Muslims then you, too, will feel our intimidation and terror."

What is it with terrorists and the 'pull my finger' routine?

From what I've seen, it's a common mannerism of the imams. Since they're delivering a religious message, they do the same thing.

Every dictator, or potenial dictator, from Bill Clinton, to Saddam Hussein, to Osama bin Laden, to Joseph Stalin, to Adolph Hitler, et al, fancies himself an Alpha male, but in reality, they are actually Betas and Omegas who have managed to figure out how to sucker enough people to believe in them, and always lead their followers to ruin. Such figures always depend on reliable, sycophantic toadies, who actually make everything run. Hitler had Goebbels, Himmler, and Eichman; Osama has Zawahiri, and Bill had Hillary, who wasn't really a toadie, but rather the true power behind the throne. Bill was her stooge, her public face, because she is not capable of appealing to the rabble like Bill does, mainly because she despises every person who isn't Hillary Clinton.
I could go on, but I have things to do, so more on this later...

All kidding aside, I think there really IS something to it.
