The ringleader of the Bali bombers claims that the attack on the nightclub
district in 2002 was
much larger than he had expected and that the only explanation for so much
carnage was that the
bombers were aided by the CIA, KGB or Mossad.
Imam Samudra, the alleged mastermind behind the attack who also chose the
targets, told the
London Times in an interview that the second explosion was bigger than the
bombers had expected
and the attack killed far more people than originally intended.
The death toll amounted to 202 people, 168 of whom were foreign nationals
including 88
Australians and 28 Britons.

He claimed the bombers had never meant to kill so many people. What
happened at Paddy’s
Bar and the Sari Club was “unacceptable”, he said.
Had he made the bomb? “No, no, no!” he said, shaking his head. “I
didn’t help to make it,
and who made the bomb and when I don’t know.”
The second explosion was much bigger than they had expected, he said.
The only explanation, he suggested, was that “the CIA or KGB or
Mossad” - those familiar
bogeymen of the conspiracy theorist – had somehow tampered with the bomb.
“It is very
possible,” he claimed.
Despite The Times' best efforts to scoff at the claim, the fact that U.S.
and British
authorities were tipped off in advance of the bombing is do***ented.
The second bomb, which was loaded inside a Mitsubi**** L300 van, was
detonated as people fled
out into the streets as a result of the panic generated by the smaller
first bomb which was
detonated inside the nightclub.
Initial re****ts said the Mitsubi**** bomb consisted of C4, a military grade
plastic explosive
which is difficult to obtain, but the story was soon changed and the bomb
was said to be of a
more crude design. The sheer devastation the bomb wrought on surrounding
buildings in the area
suggested that a powerful explosive was used.
Allegations of U.S. and British government prior knowledge and even
involvement in the Bali
bombing have repeatedly surfaced.
During an interview for an Australian do***entary, former Indonesian
President Abdurrahman
Wahid unequivocally fingered the Indonesian authorities as the true
culprits behind the October
2002 bombing. Wahid said the authorities were acting at the behest of
Western intelligence
agencies.
Indonesia has become renowned for rampant corruption and state involvement
in terrorist
atrocities. Sources told the film makers that government-connected
criminals were carrying out
an agenda of depopulation in the targeted areas by lowering the value of
property and
resources, then buying it on the cheap.
By following international news re****ts out of Taiwan at the time, we were
able to confirm that
the U.S. government had advance knowledge of the Bali bombing. They passed
that knowledge on to
the Taiwanese government and told them to keep the information top secret.
Hours before the bombing took place, the U.S. withdrew all its
administrative staff and
diplomats from Indonesia, citing a "security threat". The British
government also received the
same warning but this wasn't passed on to any relevant authority or the
hundreds of victims
carelessly making their way to a beach party.
Immediately after the bombing, the FBI, the Australian Secret Service and
British secret police
swooped in to the bomb site and ruthlessly took charge of the
investigation, much to the
chagrin of the Indonesian authorities and the Balinese police.
The online do***entary, The Truth About The Bali Bombings, explores some
of these issues. Watch
