Bali bombing prosecutor shot dead

In my last post I asked is "Al-Qaeda to strike in Indonesia?".

Lo and behold look what we get today:

From ABC

A prosecutor who helped send three men to jail for their role in the Bali bombing has been shot dead in the Indonesian province of Sulawesi.

The shooting comes at a time of growing extremist violence in Sulawesi and a terrorist threat against Western interests in the area.

Fery Silalahi worked on a range of cases involving corruption and terrorism in Sulawesi, among them helping to convict three Jemaah Islamiyah members for their connections to the Bali bombings.

The three men were just last week acquitted by an appeals court but Mr Silalhi had been quoted as saying the men would not be released until a prosecutor's appeal had been heard.

Mr Silalhi was in a car in the town of Paelu yesterday when he was shot dead by gunmen who then escaped on motorcycles.

I would imagine bigger attacks are on the way.
