...however, has not been able to capture two key plotters: Azahari bin Husin and Nurdin Mohammed Top, among the chief operatives of Jemaah Islamiah, a jihadist group linked to al-Qaeda. The two are also suspects in subsequent attacks in Jakarta, on the Marriott Hotel in 2003 and the Australian embassy a year later, which killed a total of 23. Azahari is allegedly Jemaah Islamiah's chief bombmaker, Nurdin its treasurer. No one has discounted their involvement this time. "We will hunt down the perpetrators and bring them to justice," President Yudhoyono said. But his earlier prediction is a grim...

I promised the Australian people no more crudity. It's been ages since I sledged guys so thick. Like Kevin Pietersen. Behind his back, Shane calls him BBC ("Brilliant But Creepy"). I was nervous, but I don't think the boys noticed. "Can't bat, can't bowl," I said to Freddie Flintoff when he was on nought...
...these had been addressed before the ambush; the three men's deaths, he adds, were not the company's fault. But Mark and fellow security contractor Neroli, who have since left ERSM - Crane claims they were fired - are critical of the firm.
