The Bally Bombings

In the lead up to the jacarda bombing, australian federal police were still in the country because the government had asked for their assistance investigating the bally bombings. In the course of that investigation, many members of jama islamia were arrested and questioned; a picture began to take shape that another bombing was being planned. No one provided a specific target that they were planning to hit, just that it was likely that the group would attack a soft target. The warning that the us Had was too vague to be actionable, and the indonesian government was somewhat in a bind.
