Two weeks ago, Indonesian police recieved an internet message claiming the responsibility of the Twin Hotel Bombings in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. Due to further investigations, it has come to light that the twin bombings were an attempt to attack and possibly kill the players of the world reknown football club, Manchester United. The attack took place at Ritz-Carlton, a top five-star hotel.

In the mail that was sent, they were quoted saying, “These players are Christians, so Muslims should not honour and respect these enemies of Allah.” None of the players were injured in this failed attempt but 7 locals were killed and hundreds were injured.

It is suspected that Al-Qaeda has a major role to play in these bombings. Though not verified, it is believed that the mail was sent by Mohammed Noordin Top, South-East Asia’s most wanted man. The message dedicated the bombings to Top’s dead accomplice Azahari Husin.
