Indonesia bomber's laptop found?

CNN:

Indonesian police have recovered a laptop that they believe belonged to one of the bombers of Friday's twin hotel attacks in Jakarta, the country's official news agency said Sunday.

The laptop contained information and codes that the attackers may have used to communicate with each other, the state-run Antara News Agency said.

The computer was found in a room at the Ritz Carlton, one of two hotels targeted Friday. The other site was the JW Marriott.

The blasts killed nine people -- including at least two presumed suicide bombers -- and wounded more than 50.

Anti-terrorism officials are investigating the links between the attacks and Noordin M. Top, the suspected leader of a small Jemaah Islamiyah splinter group. The group has ties to Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terrorist network, but so far there has been no claim of responsibility for the latest attack.

The Washington Times points out some of the contrast in Indonesia's Muslim population.

...

Analysts often note that Indonesia has the largest Muslim population of any country, but it also is one of the most liberal and least enamored of the al Qaeda siren song. A poll of global Muslim public opinion by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland, released in February, shows that bin Laden's approval rating in the country is 14 percent. This is certainly larger than in most Western countries, but it is small compared to the 56 percent approval rating the terror mastermind enjoys among Palestinians.

According to the survey, Indonesia had the smallest percentage of Muslims saying that Shariah law should play a greater role in society (27 percent) and the largest percentage saying it should play a smaller role (23 percent). This is not fertile ground for the extremist message.

...

Repeated attacks of this nature in Indonesia have not moved that country any closer to realizing the Islamic utopia envisaged by the violent radicals. It would seem that terrorists eventually would come to realize that randomly killing innocent people is not an effective means of popularizing a political movement or cause. But for precisely that reason, these attacks demonstrate that the terrorists are driven by irrational motives and believe a failed strategy may succeed one day if they just keep killing.

...

One of the problems with radical Islam is the belief that all failures are the results of being insufficiently pious and Islamic. They thus ratchet up their control freak piety and their attacks in hopes of success through becoming ever more radical. Expecting them to come to rational conclusions about success and failure is not something we can depend on. We have to remain vigilant as we seek to destroy those who would destroy us.

Hopefully the laptop in question will lead authorities to those responsible for the mass murder for Allah attacks.
