What relationship is there between the killings in Atambua and the bombings in Jakarta? International protests over the incident that occurred at the UNHCR headquarters in Atambua have forced Indonesia's political leaders to realize that although Indonesia is a sovereign country, every step it takes must take into account the global perspective (read: especially the interests of the West and its allies). The latest theory has it that the Army, feeling itself ceaselessly condemned by civil society, is now feeling the need to prove that it is still vital to the normal progress of the nation and the country's life.

And what if it is true that international terrorists have already entered Indonesia? Who can anticipate or forestall their actions? The police? Although these law enforcers succeeded in establishing that one of the bombs that exploded in Jakarta came from the Army ammunition depots located in the village of Saradan near Nganjuk, East Java, the police proved powerless in following up their investigation as long as the local military commander refuses to allow them access to the records showing the in and outflow of ammunition to and from the warehouse.

Which theory is true and when will the mystery be revealed? The answer is with the law enforcers.
