Al, I think this is the first proper report about the Bali bomb.

sundaymirror.co.uk

I find this bit interesting

>>>Witnesses have described how a team of eight bombers blocked the narrow nightclub strip, allowing traffic to clear in front so they could guarantee a speedy getaway.<<<

Must have been a very "professional" operation involving many people, whoever they are.

And this, of course, is the propaganda we are expected to swallow.

jpost.com

>>>Osama bin-Laden, who is said to have transferred $74,000 to an Indonesian Islamic extremist group to purchase three tons of C4 plastic explosives
for the Bali massacre, is also planning to mount attacks on Israelis and Israeli targets.<<<

Suddenly, after he has been missing since I don't know when, OBL returns from the dead and transfers $74,000 from whatever bank account and in direct view of all and sundry and then tells them why. Of course, the bank manager didn't tell him that his account had been closed a year ago. OBL then stands on a chair and tells the audience that he intends to attack --- yes, you have guessed it --- Israel.

Well, if this isn't a good enough reason to make war on Saddam, I don't know what is.
