US media report says Osama bin Laden is dead

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Mon, 05/02/2011 10:22 AM | World

Osama bin Laden has been killed, a United States official says.

US President Barack Obama is expected to make an announcement Sunday night local time, New York Times reported.

The death of the world's most-wanted terrorism group Al Qaeda's leader will end an almost 10-year long manhunt after the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

No visual confirmation on the reports have been made available.

Rights activist urge probe of Palu media attack

The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Fri, 12/31/2010 3:37 PM | National

The Commission for Missing Persons and Victims of Violence (Kontras) wants the police to resolve the attack of several journalists in Palu, South Sulawesi.

“Kontras also urges the Central Sulawesi Police to involve the National Police Commission, the National Commission on Human Rights and the Press Council in probing the case,” Kontras activist Indria Fernida said on friday, as quoted by kompas.com.

Kontras sent a letter to the Central Sulawesi Police Chief Sr. Comr. Dewa Pasarna asking that officers investigate the case seriously to deter similar acts in the future, according to Indria.

A group called the Kaili Youth Forum (FPK) allegedly attacked the Alliance of Independent Journalists’ (AJI) office in Paluon Thursday.

Based on the records of AJI and Kontras, the recent attack has brought the number of violent incidents involving journalists in Central Sulawesi this year to four.
