.- At least one person died and 17 others injured when a bomb exploded today at a mosque inside a police station in western Indonesia, police said. "It was a suicide attack and the author died," said Anton Bahcrul Alam, a local police spokesman was quoted as saying. The bomb exploded at the end of Friday prayers in the city of Cirebon in East Java province, where two months ago a similar attempt was foiled in the same church, and among the wounded an unknown number of policemen.
The blast comes weeks after several people were injured by a wave packet in Jakarta bomb addressed to various persons in favor of religious tolerance in the nation's most populous Muslim world. On that occasion, the authorities blamed the militant group Jemaah Islamiyah, considered Al Qaeda's arm in Southeast Asia and which were attributed the bloodiest attacks in recent years in the region.
The organization was founded in the 90 to forcibly create an Islamic caliphate in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the southern Philippines and Thailand.
