On October 12, 2002, a suicide bomber entered the Sari Nightclub in Bali, Indonesia, and detonated a bomb in his backpack. Fifteen seconds later, those fleeing the club were met with another attack when a powerful car bomb was detonated across the street at Paddy’s Irish Bar. The final death toll was 202, including seven Americans. These victims were citizens of more than 20 different countries, primarily young tourists on vacation. Hundreds of others suffered severe burns and other injuries. Several members of the Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist group have been convicted in relation to this attack.

THE LONG WAR JOURNAL: “Jemaah Islamiyah’s Network”
100 to go. ;-)
...and 100 is probably a real low ball number. (Opinion-Speculation)
You did not get my pun, which means it was probably a bad pun.
Bad pun.
Yep.
I had to look at it twice.
But it is a little early for Disney Dog Movie humor. At least here in the Eastern Time Zone.
Grinning...Well, now I’m laughing.
I’m always the last one to get a joke.
Good news.
Yes.
He has been “killed” several times before; but I believe this one is a keeper.
I actually see the intelligence value of capturing a major jihad suspect alive; but dead jihadis hold a value of their own — no recidivism.
Ironically, we’re probably better off killing them so Holder doesn’t release them or ACLU lawyers used them for political gain and Indonesia is better off capturing them alive.
I fully understand your concern.

“Detonators, Weapons Seized in Indonesia Anti-terror Raids”
SNIPPET: “Indonesian police said Wednesday they had seized three remote-controlled bomb detonators at the Internet cafe on Jakarta’s outskirts where fugitive militant leader Dulmatin was killed.
National police chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri told reporters that the devices were ready to be used, but refused to say whether any explosives had been found in Tuesday’s raid on the cafe in Pamulang city.
“We found detonators to be used to trigger bombs from a distance,” he said.
Dulmatin’s death came after security forces conducted a series of raids in Jakarta, West Java and in Aceh, where an extremist training camp was discovered.
“Dulmatin’s role was to prepare military training, buy weapons and bullets and finance military training activities with funds of 500 million rupiah (54,500 dollars),” Danuri added.”
