Suicide Bombers in Bali
The terror attacks in Bali today were perpetrated by Islamic suicide bombers.
BALI, Indonesia - Suicide bombers targeted the Indonesian tropical resort of Bali with coordinated attacks that devastated three crowded restaurants, killing at least 25 people, an Indonesian anti-terrorism official said Sunday.
Maj. Gen. Ansyaad Mbai said that the three attackers went into the restaurants Saturday night 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.”
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.
