...Jemaah Islamiah (JI), a homegrown terrorist network, has advocated targeting Westerners in the past, as it did to deadly effect during the 2002 and '05 bombings on the resort island of Bali and a previous assault on the same Jakarta Marriott six years ago.

Then came the first Marriott attack, followed by an explosion at the Australian embassy in Jakarta. The last terrorist attack in Indonesia was in October 2005 when 20 people were killed by suicide bombers, also in Bali. Since then, Indonesia has been pretty safe.
