Police officers inspect the site of the attack on a remote Christian community in Indonesia, believed to be by Islamic State-linked extremists Islamic State-linked extremists killed four people in a remote Christian community on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, authorities said Saturday, with one victim beheaded and another burned to death. The group of sword-and-gun wielding attackers ambushed Lembantongoa village in Central Sulawesi province Friday morning, killing several [https://www.change.org/search?q=residents residents] and torching half a dozen homes, including one used for regular prayers and services, police said. No arrests had yet been made and the motive for the attack was not immediately clear. But authorities pointed the finger at the Sulawesi-based East Indonesia Mujahideen (MIT), one of dozens of radical groups across the Southeast Asian archipelago that have pledged allegiance to IS. Indonesia, the world's biggest Muslim majority nation, has long wrestled with Islamist militancy and terror attacks, while Central Sulawesi has seen intermittent violence between Christians and Muslims for decades. "We reached the conclusion that they (the attackers) were from MIT after showing pictures of its members to relatives of the victims" who witnessed the ambush, said Sigi Regency police chief Yoga Priyahutama. The makeshift church was empty at the time of the early morning attack by around eight militants, he added. "People were just in their homes when it happened," Priyahutama said. Lembantongoa village head Rifai, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, said one victim was beheaded and another was nearly decapitated. One of the other all-male victims was stabbed while a fourth was burned to death in his home, he added. "Some residents managed to escape, but the victims didn't make it," Rifai told AFP. Indonesia's Christians have been targeted in the past, including in 2018 when IS-linked group [http://ajt-ventures.com/?s=Jamaah%20Ansharut Jamaah Ansharut] Daulah staged a wave of suicide bombings by families -- including young children -- at churches in the country's second-biggest city Surabaya, killing a dozen congregants. If confirmed to be the work of MIT, Friday's killings would be its first significant attack since the organisation's leader was killed four years ago by Indonesia's elite anti-terror squad, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/du-lich-bali-tuyet-voi-nhu-the-nao.html kynghidongduong.vn] according to Jakarta-based terrorism expert Sidney Jones. "Through the attack... they want to show that police efforts to arrest and kill members of the group did not have any effect on" them, she said. In 2018, MIT was believed to have sent radicals posing as humanitarian workers into Central Sulawesi's quake-tsunami hit Palu city in a bid to recruit new members, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/du-lich-bali-tuyet-voi-nhu-the-nao.html du lịch ba li] Jones said.

By Heru Asprihanto BANDUNG, Indonesia, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Perched on a hilltop overlooking the Indonesian city of Bandung neat lines of teepee-style tents are set up each evening on a patch of lawn in front of a large screen. Known as 'Cinema Under the Stars', the outdoor camp-style movie space opened two months ago in the capital of Indonesia's most populous province of West Java with the aim of keeping people both entertained and socially distanced. "Movies are usually watched indoors... but now we have this outdoor cinema with the view of Bandung," said 20-year-old local resident Lidia Utari. "And what's more interesting is that they use tents here, so I wanted to give it a try," she added. Supplied with pillows, blankets and snacks, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/du-lich-bali-tuyet-voi-nhu-the-nao.html kynghidongduong.vn] each tent is also equipped with hand sanitiser and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/du-lich-bali-tuyet-voi-nhu-the-nao.html du lịch ba li] disinfectant in line with health protocols, organisers say. Moviegoers sit at the [http://www.fin24.com/Search/News?queryString=entrance entrance] to the tents with small tables in front with food and drink, all lit up by candlelight. No more than three people are allowed to use each of the 28 tents, which are spaced about 1.5 metres to 2 metres apart (5 to 6.6 ft). The cost for each tent is 215,000 rupiah ($15.25) per movie. "We started this business during the pandemic, that's why we were brainstorming about how to attract visitors as people have a thirst for entertainment in times like these," said Ilham Fahri Suhada, one of the organisers. With more than 530,000 infections and 16,000 deaths, Indonesia has the highest number of coronavirus cases and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/du-lich-bali-tuyet-voi-nhu-the-nao.html bali] fatalities in Southeast Asia. Some health experts say limited testing and contact tracing, as well as a high positivity rate - the infection rate per person tested - indicate actual rates may be far higher. Unlike many neighbours, the world's fourth most populous country with 270 million people has not had national lockdowns but has instead imposed localised social restrictions. While tents may not provide much additional protection from the virus, film-goers seem content with the setup. "I don't have to worry (about COVID-19) here because they carry out proper health protocols," said Juliatun Hasanah, 21. ($1 = 14,100.0000 rupiah) (Writing by Ed Davies; Editing by Michael Perry)

Indonesia Considers Digital Tax Even Without World Consensus

JAKARTA, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Indonesia may still pursue a plan to tax technology companies on the income they generate from the country even if G20 nations and the OECD cannot reach a deal on digital taxes, its finance minister said on Tuesday. Talks to rewrite rules for cross-border taxation, including digital taxes, led by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, stalled this year, with a new deadline for an agreement extended to 2021. Indonesia, Southeast Asia's biggest economy, has begun collecting a 10% value-added tax (VAT) since mid-2020 on digital products and services from internet-based firms, but officials had previously said it would charge a tax on income only after a global consensus was reached. Finance Minister Sri Mulyani Indrawati told a virtual news [https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=conference,creativecommons conference] that, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/du-lich-bali-tuyet-voi-nhu-the-nao.html du lịch ba li] based on the VAT payments, the tax office could estimate how much in income digital firms derive from Indonesia. "Of course we hope for a global taxation agreement, it would be so much better as it gives a certainty," the minister said. "But it does not mean we cannot collect the taxes. The difference is we will not be doing something that is based on a formula advocated by the OECD," she said. The European Union is also considering going ahead with a bloc-wide tax on digital services if a global deal is not reached by mid-2021. The United States in June launched an investigation into digital services taxes being adopted or considered in several jurisdictions, including the EU and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/du-lich-bali-tuyet-voi-nhu-the-nao.html du lịch ba li] Indonesia. Indonesia's tax office said 16 digital companies had paid 297 billion rupiah ($21.06 million) in VAT as of October. Indonesia's digital economy is set to reach $44 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow to $124 billion by 2025, according to a recent study by Google, Temasek Holdings and Bain & Company.
