Statement of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia on the Bombings Incidents in Jakarta
Friday, 17 July 2009
The Government of Indonesia strongly condemns the acts of terror that took place in Jakarta this morning, Friday, 17 July 2009. The innocent civilians have once again fallen victims of this murderous carnage.
The Government of Indonesia wishes to express its deepest condolences, sympathy and prayers to the victims and their families.
The tragic attacks posed an assault to democracy and freedom in Indonesia and to a nation that recently has just once again demonstrated their maturity in practicing democracy. The terror is directly aimed at damaging our strong economy and positive image, which for the past five years have been tremendously nurtured.
