Re: 印尼的巴厘岛又有恐怖袭击 [M13]
Suicide Bombers Carried Out Bali Attacks
By IRWAN FIRDAUS, Associated Press Writer
BALI, Indonesia - Suicide bombers targeted the Indonesian tropical resort of Bali with coordinated attacks Saturday that devastated seafood and noodle restaurants packed with foreigners, killing at least 25 people.
Maj. Gen. Ansyaad Mbai, one of Indonesia's top anti-terrorism officials, said Sunday that the three attackers went into the restaurants on wearing explosive vests. The remains of their bodies were found at the scenes, he said.
"I have the seen them. All that is left is their head and feet," he told The Associated Press. "By the evidence we can conclude the bombers were carrying the explosives around the waists."
Saturday's near-simultaneous blasts at two seafood cafes on Jimbaran beach and a three-story noodle and steakhouse in downtown Kuta came a month after Indonesia's president warned of possible terrorist attacks. Two Americans were among the 101 people wounded.
Mbai said two Malaysian fugitives were suspected of masterminding the Saturday strikes. The two men, Azahari bin Husin and Noordin Mohamed Top, have been on Indonesia's most wanted list since the Oct. 12, 2002, attacks on two Bali nightclubs that killed 202 people, mostly foreigners.
"The modus operandi of Saturday's attacks is the same as the earlier ones," said Mbai. |
