The Jakarta-based Asian Muslim Youth Movement (AMYM), in the showcase “moderate” Islamic state of Indonesia, claims to have sent hundreds of suicide bombers to attack Jewish targets around the world.
SYDNEY (AFP) - The Australian government said it was investigating a claim that hundreds of Southeast Asian suicide bombers had been deployed to attack Jewish interests in countries that support Israel.
The claim was made by the leader of the radical Jakarta-based Asian Muslim Youth Movement (AMYM), Suaib Bidu, The Australian newspaper reported.
“The minister for foreign affairs and the department of foreign affairs are investigating what is reported in the papers today and we are treating it very, very seriously,” said Human Services Minister Joe Hockey.
Bidu warned that thousands more militants were preparing to die as martyrs in revenge attacks over Israel’s military operations against Lebanon’s Hezbollah militia, The Australian said.
He warned that attacks would be launched against Jewish targets in countries such as Britain, the United States and possibly Australia.
The group had already despatched 217 suicide bombers, including 72 Indonesians as well as citizens of six other Southeast Asian nations, Bidu told the newspaper.
