Indonesia: Newslinks on the Death of Bin Laden

This link, which seems pretty straightforward and unbiased, notes the issue of terrorism in Indonesia and how certain groups are reacting to the death of Osama Bin Laden.

The Jakarta Post had an interesting "text your opinion" page, where the international community of Indonesia commented diversely on his death and  U.S.'s operation to kill him.

Antara News, Indonesia's Official News Agency, ran several stories which seemed to focus on negative aspects of the operation (Bin Laden Death Rekindles Torture DebateWhite House Alters Narrative of Bin Laden RaidBin Laden, Two Others Didn't Fire on Seals-Sources). I think it's safe to say that this one, in which an Iranian government official states that Bin Laden was dead long before U.S. forces got to him, probably wouldn't be on any front pages here.
