India under attack .. ...November 26th, 2008

Terror.....Why...it's happened again and...again... oh God, what can we do to stop it?

At least 125 people have been killed, including six foreigners, and 327 injured in the attack as terrorists used AK-47s and grenades to strike at the city’s high-profile areas. More than 200 people are still trapped as hostages or used as human shields, police said. There were heavy casualties among the staff in both the hotels with the Taj alone accounting for around 40 of them. The hotel general manager’s wife and two sons were also killed.

Military sources said while all the hostages in the Taj were evacuated to safety, one injured terrorist was still inside the hotel. Meanwhile, the situation in Trident has worsened. Late in the night, there was a major fire in the Trident after terrorists exploded grenades that set the roof ablaze. About 200 people are still trapped in the hotel.

Tapi kita masih dapat bersyukur bagi 5 WNI yang selamat.

CONGRATULATIONS....

I AM NOT AN AMERICAN BUT I AM SO HAPPY AND PROUD FOR BARACK OBAMA'S VICTORY....


The Jakarta Post,

Jakarta shared the anxiety and the joy of the U.S presidential election won by new Indonesian darling Barack Hussein Obama on Wednesday.
t was a special day for students of Obama's former school SDN Menteng 01, Central Jakarta, who gathered at the school's hall to watch the final results pour in. Several pictures of Obama during his school years there were prominently displayed.
Obama, or Barry as he was affectionately called during his time in Indonesia, enrolled in the school -- then named SD Besuki -- as a third-grader in 1968. He previously attended the Fransiskus Asisi Catholic School, also in Central Jakarta. Obama moved to Indonesia at the age of six with his mother Ann Dunham and his Indonesian stepfather Lolo Soetoro. He lived in Jakarta from 1967 to 1971.
