Maluku (Reuters) - Muhammed Ismael, a representative from the terrorist organization Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), has recently announced in an online press release that the group is willing to negotiate with the Indonesian government and discuss the pending detonation of the five remaining biological weapons in the group's custody.
"The negotiations must occur immediately," Ismael said. "The Indonesian government must act quickly, or else we will act faster."
JI has threatened to detonate a series of five other biological weapons contained in "undisclosed locations" and believed to contain the avian bird flu. It is estimated that the detonations would kill thousands instantly and millions belatedly as a result of the spread of the avian flu.
According to Ismael, the negotiations between the Indonesian government and JI would only last "around 30 minutes."
"The Cabinet should be sure on how it wants to act," Ismael said. "Argument is a sign of disunity and weakness within the body. We know what we want, and they should too."
The statements came after the earlier detonation of a biological weapon in Jakarta that has since killed an estimated 2,010 people.
