STEAL THIS BOOK

Please don't buy it!!!
CONVICTED Bali bomber Imam Samudra has published an autobiography justifying his role in the atrocity while on death row.
Entitled I Fight Terrorists, the 280-page tome apparently details Samudra's reasoning behind the October 12, 2002 bombings and why he deemed them "necessary".
More than 200 people were killed in the attacks, may of them Australians, and many more have been scared for life both physically and mentally.
Only a few copies of the book are currently on sale, but a wider circulation is planned for later this month, his publisher, Bambang Sukirno, said.
All profits will go to Samudra's family, his defence team and unnamed charities.
I suspect the "unnamed charities" don't include the United Way.
...the largest Indonesian charity Kompak, which was active in the sectarian conflict in the Malukus and Sulawesi that led to the death of some 8,000 people. According to detained JI members, skimmed funds from Kompak funded JI’s two paramilitary arms. At least two of the 13 regional chiefs of Kompak were JI members. Kompak produced many of the jihadi videos that JI and al Qaeda used to raise funds, propagandize and recruit.
The book is expected to be published next month after a limited run of 5000 copies that have already been published. Imam Samudra is reportedly trying to arrange a book signing at at a plush central Jakarta shopping mall.
