Bomb: Man-Utd 'Was Target'

LAMPUKUNING- INDONESIA police are investigating the origin of an internet message which claims responsibility for twin hotel bombings in Jakarta nearly two weeks ago, and names the Manchester United football team as the target.
The messages justified the attack on July 17, in which seven people died, as an attack on American interests and labelled Manchester United, which was due to book into one of the hotels, as 'crusaders'.
It said the attack was a warning to Indonesians 'against the arrival of the soccer club Manchester United' at the Ritz-Carlton.
"These players are Christians, so Muslims should not honour and respect these enemies of Allah," it said.
The posting, which has not been independently verified, was purportedly written by Mohammed Noordin Top, South-East Asia’s most wanted man.[TELEGRAPH]
