Press Release The Government of the
Republic of Indonesia
on the Bombing Incidents in Jakarta
Friday, 17 July 2009
The Government of Indonesia strongly
condemns the acts of terror that
took place in Jakarta this morning,
Friday, 17 July 2009. The innocent
civilians have once again fallen
victims of this murderous carnage.
The Government of Indonesia wishes
to express its deepest condolences,
sympathy and prayers to the victims
and their families.
The tragic attacks posed an assault
to democracy and freedom in
Indonesia and to a nation that
recently has just once again
demonstrated their maturity in
practicing democracy. The terror is
directly aimed at damaging our
strong economy and positive image,
which for the past five years have
been tremendously nurtured.
The Government of Indonesia remains
steadfast in its commitment and
vigilance against terrorism. Our
fortitude in consolidating our
democracy and bringing prosperity to
our people will not be deterred by
such cowardice acts.
We wish to express our highest
appreciation for the sympathy and
relentless support kindly offered by
our friends and the international
community.
The Government of Indonesia also
wishes to assure its people and
friends that the Indonesian security
forces are working hard to find,
investigate, and bring the
perpetrators of these tragic attacks
to justice.
