"No Terrorist in Indonesia" No terrorist in Indonesia? Osama Bin Laden painting being sold next to images of Megawati Sukarno Putri and Hamzah Haz, the present president and vice president of Indonesia, in a market on the ethnically strife island of Ambon. In early 2002 the vice president stated that there were no Al-Qaeda or terrorist groups operating in Indonesia. Tragically on October 21 Hamzah Haz was proven wrong as a bomb ripped through a crowded bar in Bali killing nearly 200 people, mostly foreigners. The alleged bombers have been caught and state openly they are terrorist, with their group having links to Al-Qaeda. Below is a painting of the founding father of Indonesia, Sukarno.
