"Indonesia's Vice-President, Hamzah Haz, has accused the U.S. of being the 'king of terrorists' in a scathing attack that echoed the language of many of the Bali bombers. In remarks that may signal a split in the Indonesian Government's campaign against terrorist groups, Mr. Hamzah ridiculed suggestions Indonesia had a serious terrorist problem...

"'Who is the real terrorist? It is the United States for they have attacked Iraq. In fact they are the king of terrorists,' Mr. Hamzah, head of the Islamic-based United Development Party, said."

The Sydney Morning Herald, Sept. 5, 2003.
