"Explosive 'linked to CIA'"" telegraph.co.uk By Michael Smith, Defence Correspondent (Filed: 17/10/2002) The explosive used in the Bali bomb attack could have come from supplies handed over to the Mujahideen by the CIA during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. The same plastic explosive, known as C4, was used in the attack on the USS Cole off Yemen in October 2000 in which 17 people died, suggesting a possible link to al-Qa'eda. A senior member of al-Qa'eda has told US interrogators in Afghanistan that it sent Abu Bakr Baasyir, spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, a large sum of money in order to allow him to buy explosives. A US report on the interrogation of Kuwaiti-born Omar al-Faruq, who is being held in Afghanistan, "refers to the transmission of $73,000 (£47,000) from Saudi Arabia to Baasyir, which he used to procure explosives". But security sources cautioned that the explosive is much easier to get hold of than some reports have suggested. C4, short for Composition 4, has been used previously in bomb attacks in Indonesia and in those cases was traced back to the military, which had obtained it legally from America.
