Indonesian police said Friday two bombs found at a house in West Java might be the work of two Malaysian terrorists wanted for major bombings in the country.

The men living in the rented house are thought to belong to the same group that carried out the October 2002 Bali bombings, and also the bombing at the Australian Embassy last month. The groups name is Jemaah Islamiyah, and authorities have found many links between this group and al-Qaida. Cianjur is also the hometown of the man who detonated last months suicide bomb at the Australian Embassy.

I think the bombmaker that was all thumbs helped out the police tremendously. Things like this are hard to find, and it makes you wonder how much of this is going on
