Assassination suspects arrested

A presidential assassination attempt appears to have been preempted:

Indonesian police have arrested two Islamist militants suspected of planning to attack President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono during a visit to West Java, the president's spokesman said on Sunday.

The two were arrested at a house near Bandung on Saturday, said presidential spokesman Julian Pasha.

Police found large amounts of chemicals in the house that the two men had rented, but it was not clear whether the chemicals could be used for making bombs.

Jeez, Indonesian Christians are just downright boring.
