"Web site shows how to attack U.S. Embassy in Indonesia"

First, let's all get on the same page:

Indonesia-language Web site shows how to attack U.S. Embassy with rocket launchers:

The United States closed diplomatic missions across Indonesia one day after a Web site offered chilling instructions on how to attack a U.S. Embassy with rocket launchers or a suicide bomb, along with a diagram that purports to identify the ambassador's office.

U.S. officials declined to say whether their decision to shutter the fortress-like embassy in central Jakarta was linked to the Indonesian-lanuage site, though a private security analyst claimed on Friday that it was. In an e-mailed statement, American officials said on Thursday the threat of terrorism in Indonesia "remains high."

The diagram was posted on a Web page using a free domain provider in the Pacific island of Nauru. The provider, .co.nr, is among many such suppliers that allow anyone with a valid e-mail account to create a Web page, often without verifying the identity of the author.

According to information registered with .co.nr, the page was first posted early Wednesday. The registered owner's country is listed as Malaysia.

The site was periodically unavailable Friday, but a worker at .co.nr said in an email it had no immediate plans to terminate the site's account.

US embassy in Jakarta closes after security threat:

JAKARTA (AFP) - The US embassy in Jakarta has been closed after the latest in a series of security alerts in the terrorism-blighted Muslim country.

Embassy spokesman Max Kwak told AFP that the heavily-fortified embassy complex in the centre of the city had received a "security threat", but did not elaborate on the nature of the warning.

A message posted on the embassy's website said US consular services and government offices would also be closed in Jakarta and other cities across the archipelago.

"The Embassy reminds all Americans that the terrorist threat in Indonesia remains high," the warden's message said.

US missions closed in Indonesia after threat:

JAKARTA - The United States closed all its diplomatic missions in Indonesia on Thursday because of a security threat as police warned that Islamic militants linked to al Qaeda were planning an attack on an unspecified target.

Police said they had strengthened protection at several other major embassies after the United States closed its four missions in Indonesia until further notice.

National police chief General Da'i Bachtiar said intelligence reports had pointed to another strike.

"The analysis of intelligence shows to us that there are preparations being made for another attack ... but the target is still uncertain. There has been communication among them to conduct an attack," Bachtiar told reporters.

He was responding to questions about fugitive Malaysian bombmaker Azahari bin Husin, one of the accused masterminds behind a spate of bombings in Indonesia and a key member of Jemaah Islamiah, a group seen as the regional arm of al Qaeda.

The U.S. embassy in Jakarta did not give details of the threat that prompted the closure of its missions, but Indonesian Vice President Jusuf Kalla said it had been spread by e-mail and cell phone.

"I have consulted with the security minister on what has happened ... This is only information spreading through e-mail and cell phones and which was later intercepted by American intelligence," Kalla told reporters without giving details of the nature of the threat.

Jakarta police chief Firman Gani said police had reinforced security at the embassies of Japan, Britain and Australia based on their own intelligence reports.

Jemaah Islamiah has launched several bomb attacks in the world's most populous Muslim nation in recent years, including one last September outside the Australian embassy in Jakarta which killed 10 people. Azahari is a key suspect.

Now, let's get down to business.

The 'istimata' (it means 'suicide brigade') use pointer sites, sites that load a frame that pulls content from another location.

The information about the US Embassy was here:

pointer: www.istimata.co.nr
content: www.geocities.com/holywarmission/

The site was not 'shut down' but being a Geocities site, it runs out of bandwidth very quickly. Geocities apparently did remove the graphics of the embassy, so by the time we got there, all we found was this:

Granted, not much to look at, but we did snag copies of the source code for that page, and there may be information of interest there. See the end of this post for the source view.

We've also mapped out the remaining web pages of the istimata and will provide an archive of them as well.

Some background regarding istamata:

TaipeiTimes.com:

"He said pages from an Internet site called Istimata, which included the statement, were found along with photos of bomb victims and information on sharing stolen credit cards.

An Indonesian police computer expert, Lieutenant Colonel Brata Mandala, said the laptop was confiscated on November 21, the day Samudra was arrested. It was not switched on between then and the cloning, he said.

He said deleted material included pictures "of naked western women," a photo of Bachtiar and a photo of the top security and welfare ministers.

The Istimata site was entered in the laptop on November 18. As quoted by Mandala, it said it was created "to answer the questions believers have on the Bali blast incidents."

It said a "small group of Islamic believers had felt a calling to avenge the savagery of the forces of crusaders and their allies ... against the Islamic state of Afghanistan that claimed tens of thousands in 2001.""

yaleglobal.yale.edu:

"Sidney Jones, Indonesia project director for the Brussels-based International Crisis Group (ICG) in Jakarta says that though JI does seem to be taking the Palestinian experience as a model, "the glory of dying as a martyr has been an element of JI's jihadist ideology for some time." Noting that there is supposed to be an istimata, or suicide brigade, with JI's "special operations unit", Jones echoed the IDSS's Tan by affirming JI's Al- Qa'eda pedigree while underscoring the fact that the Bali bombings and the string of smaller bombings since then "seem to be local initiatives". "JI is not some local subordinate of Al-Qa'eda, even if it maintains contact," Jones told the Weekly. "It has the skills, personnel and ideological commitment within its own membership to undertake these bombings on its own.""
