Extractions: JAKARTA, Indonesia Indonesia is stepping up its efforts to address potential terrorist threats amid growing fears the republic could become a safe haven for al Qaeda and its sympathizers. Indonesia's military has revived its counter-terrorism unit and intelligence authorities are sending a team to the United States to interrogate an al Qaeda suspect arrested in the republic in June this year. The suspect, Omar al-Faruq, reportedly confessed to U.S. authorities of using Indonesia as a base to plan attacks on U.S. embassies across Southeast Asia. A story published last week by Time magazine also quoted regional intelligence reports and a CIA document alleging al-Faruq twice attempted to assassinate Indonesia's President Megawati Sukarnoputri and carried out a string of church bombings in Indonesia that killed 18 people in 2000.

Time.com People Fortune EW JAKARTA, Indonesia The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has blasted the light sentences imposed by an Indonesian court on six men involved in the killing of three of its international aid workers. "The sentences make a mockery of the international community's insistence that justice be done in this horrific case," the UNHCR said in a statement. The six were jailed on Friday for 10-20 months, but had faced up to 34 years in prison over the slayings, which occurred during a rampage by pro-Jakarta East Timorese militias in the West Timor border town of Atambua last September. All six East Timorese men, who consider themselves Indonesian, were convicted of violence against people and property, as opposed to murder, court officials said. "The elements that caused the U.N. officers' deaths cannot be proved to be (linked to the defendants) . . . because the action was perpetrated by a mob," Judge Anak Agung Gede Dalem said when he sentenced three of the men.

Time.com People Fortune EW Megawati is considered as the political reincarnation of Sukarno By CNN's Atika Shubert JAKARTA, Indonesia (CNN) It seems that on the 100-year anniversary of the birthday of Sukarno, everyone is invoking the spirit of Indonesia's founding father and first president even its current leader Abdurrahman Wahid. In a day marked by a flurry of ceremonies, President Wahid celebrated a morning event with one of Sukarno's children in tow, younger daughter Rachmawati Sukarnoputri. In his bid to cling on to power, the embattled Wahid had no qualms about using one Sukarno namesake to do battle against another his rival and deputy, Vice President Megawati Sukarnoputri, another Sukarno daughter and heir apparent to the Sukarno legacy. With President Wahid sitting at her side, Rachmawati openly accused her sister's party of violating Sukarno's principles of democracy and nationhood, and also denounced attempts to impeach President Wahid. "This coup d'etat is being carried out in the name of the constitution and democracy," Rachmawati said, adding the country was, as a result, trapped in a "disintegration scenario".

Extractions: East Java has a variety of attractions, from temple sites to scenic beaches, a sand-sea, highland-lakes, volcanoes, marine gardens and wildlife reserves. As the power in Central Java declined around the tenth century, powerful kingdoms rose in East Java to fill the vacuum. Between 1055 and 1222, the kingdom of Kediri prospered and expanded. During the reign of king Erlangga both East Java and Bali enjoyed a lucrative trade with the surrounding islands when their arts flourished. Parts of the Mahabarata epic were translated and reinterpreted to conform closer to the East Javanese outlook and philosophy, and it was from this era that East Java inherited much of its treasure of temple art. In 1292 the Majapahit dynasty began an empire that was to dominate the entire archipelago, the Malay peninsula and part of the Philippines. Majapahit also established profitable trade relations with China and other countries of the South East Asian region. Today the open-air amphi theater at Pandaan tells some of the stories of this glorious past. Aided by the Java Ballet performances against a backdrop of distant volcanoes, any traveler will be easily enthralled by the East Java experience, capturing the spirit of the province's culture and scenery. Its capital, Surabaya is second to Jakarta in size, population and commerce. East Java is also the most industrialized province in the nation. Its economy is based on agriculture, fishery, oil industries, coffee, mangoes and apples.

If you want to support the relief aid to Aceh, please also consider helping schools. There are a number of schools in Banda Aceh and elsewhere who have lost all their schoolbooks, microscopes, kids who have no school uniforms anymore and the like. Some buildings are heavily damaged or just need to be cleaned and re-painted. With money send by my family in The Netherlands I have already visited schools and distributed new school uniforms to elementary schools and junior/ senior high schools. My house in Banda Aceh is already cleaned but we have still lack of water. The electricity is back. FYI yes I was also here when the tsunami started. I have my blue book still to proof it. Four days after the tsunami, me and my family in law decided to go by car to Bireuen, about 6 hours by car from Banda Aceh. On our way we passed villages along the coast who were totally destroyed and mosques filled up with refugees. I returned to Banda Aceh after spending 10 days in Bireuen. Giving relief aid in Aceh is not always easy ... for any organisation. Its still one of the most corrupt areas of Indonesia and if yr boxes of clothes, toys and the like fall into the wrong hands, the goods will end up at Ulee Kareng market in Banda Aceh to be sold to locals for Rp. 5000, per piece. Believe me. I have seen it happen already.

Time.com People Fortune EW Wahid is fighting to stave off likely impeachment in August JAKARTA, Indonesia Tough action has again been threatened by President Abdurrahman Wahid if his enemies continue to press towards his impeachment. Wahid warned Friday that he would declare a state of emergency, a message he delivered just ahead of a proposed meeting of the leaders of all political parties this weekend. But the meeting was put in doubt after aides to Vice President Megawati Sukarnoputri said she would be unlikely to attend. Megawati leads Indonesia's biggest political party. Indonesia's legislators have insisted Wahid justify his leadership on the opening day of the week-long hearing on August 1, called over his stumbling 20-month rule and two financial scandals.

Extractions: Underwater photos taken in Nusa Tenggara Bali and Sulawesi ( North-Sulawesi Lembeh Central- and South-Sulawesi Indonesia is one of my favorite places to go scuba diving.The reefs on this five thousand kilometer long archipelago are some of the best there is. There are said to be over 15'000 islands with more than 80'000 kilometer coastline - that's a lot of potentional area for coral reefs! Indonesia is not so well known and lately many divers don't go there anymore because of the political situation. However this makes for nice uncrowded diving at places like Bali (which usually has a lot of tourists). I have been to Indonesia seven times for extensive diving and just now (summer 2003) visited it again. Some of my greatest dives were done here in Sulawesi Bali and the Komodo islands! I have compiled many pages of information, tips about dive areas, descriptions and maps of dive sites and liveaboards, photos of the underwater animals you will find there, and much more. I hope a look into my pages will make your mouth water and make you want to go to Indonesia!
