HACKERS EXPOSE SAUDI ROLE IN FUNDING TERRORISM IN INDONESIA
not3 | 29 December 2015 |
Saudi Arabia’s role in supporting Wahhabi terrorism in Indonesia has been exposed by a sophisticated hacking group. The cyber activists’ success is a further blow to the Saudi regime, which has already lost credibility and goodwill as its role in supporting Al Qaeda terrorism from Damascus to New York becomes ever more widely understood.
Now Indonesia’s National Police Inspector-General, Tito Karnavian, has informed high-ranking officials in Jakarta that Saudi Arabia has been supporting the terrorist groups in the Southeast Asian country, a fact proven by a key document released by the Yemen Cyber Army after it hacked the Saudi Foreign Ministry in May.
One of the documents released by the YCA is a secret letter written by the Saudi Embassy in Jakarta to the Foreign Ministry in Riyadh, saying that the country’s ambassador had had a meeting with the representative of Indonesia’s minister for religious affairs, Nasreddin Omar, who was accompanied by a delegationfrom the Indonesian National Counter-terrorism Agency (BNPT), including General Karnavian.
According to the letter, the first goal of the meeting was to seek explanations about Karnavian’s speech in which he had named Saudi Arabia as one of the financial supporters of terrorists in Indonesia.
During the meeting, which was held in the Saudi embassy, Karnavian explained that in his speech he didn’t directly mean the Saudi government, but certain Saudis who have extended financial support for the terrorists in practice.
Late in May, the Yemen Cyber Army released a portion of the information and documents that it had gained in its recent cyber attack on Saudi Arabia’s Foreign, Interior and Defence Ministries.
The Yemen Cyber Army confirmed that it hacked the website, servers and archives of Saudi Arabia’s Foreign, Interior and Defence ministries and would release thousands of these top secret documents.
The group claimed that it has “gained access to the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) network and have full control over more than 3000 computers and servers, and thousands of users. We also have access to the emails, personal and secret information of thousands of their staff and diplomats in different missions around the world”.

The hackers’ statement, which said the cyber army has also attacked the Saudi Interior and Defence ministries, and vowed to release their details later, was carried by several globally known hackers websites.
Following the hack in May, the Yemen Cyber Army sent a copy of its information to FNA and another one to the whistleblower website WikiLeaks.
“WikiLeaks released over 60,000 documents on Friday and vowed to release the rest in coming weeks, but we plan to release the documents in separate news items since many of them contain the names of foreign nationals who have requested visits to Saudi Arabia, for example for the Hajj pilgrimage, and their names have been mentioned among the Saudi agents. Thus releasing the list of names and documents might hurt innocent individuals who have done nothing except apply for visas at a Saudi embassy for the Hajj pilgrimage,” FNA English Editor-in-Chief Seyed Mostafa Khoshcheshm said.
“The number of the documents is way beyond the 500,000 that has been announced by WikiLeaks, but they need to be checked first to make sure that they do not contain misleading information and are not harmful to innocent people,” he added.
