<< WEIRD ECONOMIST NEVER WRONG ~ MAIN ~ BOMB AFTERMATH >>
HEADS, FEET LOCATED
Three suicide bombers were responsible for the Bali attacks, reports AP:
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 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.”
Not sure how that squares with the mention here that four unexploded bombs were found after the blasts. Three Australians are now believed dead, together with 12 Indonesians. Among the 101 wounded: 49 Indonesians, 17 Australians, six Koreans, three Japanese and two Americans. Muslims weren’t behind the attacks, claims Indonesia Council Of Holy Warriors spokesman Fauzan Al Anshari: “This is a grand design to again put Muslim people and Ustadz (honored cleric) Abu into a corner.”
UPDATE. One dead in Oklahoma, where a suicide bomber apparently intended killing only himself.
UPDATE II. Australian rugby player Mick Collis, in Bali for a competition, says he was warned of the Bali attacks by an Australian resident:
“We got up here on the Wednesday and on the Thursday he said to us they had found some detonators around the place and then he said that some of his contacts he had - he called them sort of the Bali mafia - they had warned him.
“They said ‘look, with the guys coming up, if you are white, don’t come into town on the Saturday night’.
“We just thought, well, we didn’t need to be told twice.
“We’re not the brightest of people - rugby players - but a warning like that sunk in pretty quick.”
UPDATE III. A second Australian death, that of a 48-year-old NSW woman, is confirmed.
UPDATE IV. Travel agencies report a rush of Bali cancellations.
UPDATE V. A report out of Kuwait claims 11 Britons are confirmed dead. Most likely this is wrong.
UPDATE VI. Australian Peter Hughes, a survivor of the 2002 Bali attacks: “I feel we’re pretty much a soft target and I don’t want it to happen, but I just feel we need to be more aware, because these guys are crazy.”
I caught Father Brian Deegan on cable news and what a gutter crawling, lick spittle, perforated camels uterus he is. The bodys havent even been counted and the tosspot was on doing the whole “because of Afghanistan, Iraq” ect routine.
News flash for Mr Brennan, 95% of Australians will spit in your face if you try this line on them. Dont believe me then come to the mine I work at not a lefty sheltered workshop and try.

Muslims win toy pigs ban
NOVELTY pig calendars and toys have been banned from a council office — in case they offend Muslim staff.Appease harder everyone! Have you apologised to an Islamofascist today?

Despite the revised DFAT warnings, the still unconfirmed death toll, the very big possibility that white people are the terrorists targets, these idiots still want to go to Bali.
Are they completely mad, or just living in a dream world where nothing nasty ever happens?Unbelievable.
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2005 10 02 at 02:31 AM • permalinkThe loud noise of the explosion could be heard clearly inside Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where 84,000 people were watching….
How does this statement:
“We are apparently dealing with an individual suicide, which is under full investigation”.
square with this:
A police bomb squad detonated explosives found at the site of the blast. The area near the stadium was searched by bomb-sniffing dogs.
So someone commits suicide by exploding some device, but more explosives are found near the suicide location? The headline should be:
Suicide bomber fails to detonate in packed OKC Stadium.
sub headline should read as:
300 more yards and hundreds would have been killed or wounded.
Jennifer Williamson from Newcastle NSW was named as a victim of the terrorist blast. Here’s earlier pics of her at the scene of the blast where she seemed to be ok . Warning - very very graphic.

I’m off to watch the footy grand final which is probably Haram and punishable by death under Sharia law.Posted by Lucky Nutsacks on 2005 10 02 at 04:25 AM • permalinkEnough about that towering intellect.
He is an interesting quote I read in the SF Chronicle
The bombers may also have wanted to capitalize on unrest in Indonesia prompted by a drastic increase in fuel prices. The blasts came on the same day that the price of fuel more than doubled. Yudhoyono’s government is trying to reduce oil subsidies that were expected to exceed $13 billion this year. The price increase sparked small protests around the country.
Blogstrop: That is merely a self justification of their past behaviour by lefties who were mugged by reality. At least they had the sense to learn.

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 10 02 at 04:23 PM • permalinkKeep an eye on the Oklahoma story. They did find another bomb and are searching for two men seen running into the stadium after the blast. The cone of silence about the identity is the same as the July 4(2002?) shooting at LAX. Big silence, then we see FBI carrying away the perp’s computer from his apartment. Only then did they announce a name.
They’re looking for the bomber’s buddies.
I hope.
And before we get onto that canard about some bombers being WASPs, backtrack to this Oklahoma story.
From a comment on my blog:
How do we know the CIA and Mossad were behind the Bali bombing? We don’t, not exactly, but we do know they have done similar things in the past.
How do I know that the commenter who wrote this is someone who loves to cut-and-paste boilerplate Loony Green Conspiracy theories in comments? We do exactly, because we have evidence, facts, stuff like that.
Stuff the moonbats find just gets in the way. Far too predictable really.
But at least he’s polite, unlike most of his ilk.#20 - (re bombings reacting to fuel prices) - unlikely as these outrages take weeks or months to plan. Fuel prices rose in the past couple of weeks.
Speaking of the SF Chronicle - here’s a great example of MSM manipulation:
History might have been different if digital cameras and instant citizen reporting had been around in the days of the Vietnam moratiums. I reckon there would have been a different story to be told.

Can we recommend a corner containing a firing squad?
