Four bombs found in Dumai house

PEKANBARU, Riau: Riau Police discovered on Wednesday four
home-made bombs in a house in the Dumai area, which they believe
would have been used to attack churches around Christmas time.

In the house, which was unoccupied, police also found a
military-style shirt, binoculars decorated with a hammer and
sickle (the symbol of the defunct Indonesian Communist Party) and
several documents -- a "Jamaah Islamiyah Jihad Agreement", a list
of phone numbers, religious books and a trading agreement
document.

Dumai Police chief Adj. Sr. Comr. Khaidir Ismanto Siregar said
the bombs would likely have been used to attack churches ahead of
Christmas celebrations. -- JP
