JAKARTA - The U.S. embassy in Jakarta has issued a security alert ahead of election results due on Wednesday, as Indonesian authorities have arrested nearly 30 suspected militants, including some who police say are able to detonate bombs using Wi-Fi networks.
Indonesian authorities have said they are heightening security ahead of May 22, when the official result of last month’s presidential election will be announced. Indonesian police also revealed that some of the suspects have learned how to use Wi-Fi to detonate explosive devices, but it was not immediately clear how advanced their plans were.
JAD does not have an official spokesman, and it is not known if any of the suspects have retained legal representation. The arrests are part of the authority’s efforts to tighten security ahead of an announcement by the General Election Commission on May 22, when nearly 32,000 police and military personnel will be on standby in Jakarta.
The fight continues.
I did consider visiting Indonesia this end of May. However I chose another destination.

U.S. pursues Californian wanted in bizarre takeover of North Korean Embassy in SpainTo Adrian Hong’s supporters, his takeover of the North Korean Embassy was an extension of a lifetime’s work on behalf of oppressed North Koreans, a worthy cause taken perhaps too far. But the U.S. government isn’t seeing it that way. Hong and his accomplices took hostages, smashed photographs of North Korea's late dictators and stole electronics and thumb drives, later escaping by masquerading as diplomats and driving away from the embassy in its own cars, flying North Korean flags. Korean Jason Bourne? Omg I can’t wait to watch the movie about him

Polish nationalists march to U.S. Embassy in Warsaw to protest Holocaust claimsThousands of Polish nationalists marched to the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw on Saturday, protesting that the U.S. is putting pressure on Poland to compensate Jews whose families lost property during the Holocaust. Disgusting. The Poles are very anti Semitic Fake news. It was protest against unconstitutional and illegal S.447 talking about heirless property and introduction of tribal law that would only apply to Jews. It was not only in Warsaw it was also in front of the White House.
