Revealed: British link to Bali bombs
25 dead, 100 injured in carnage
TERRORISTS struck again on the island of Bali yesterday, killing at least 25 people and injuring more than 100 in co-ordinated attacks on Saturday night diners at holiday resorts.
At least three bombs went off within minutes of each other at popular restaurants eight miles apart, all packed with tourists. Some victims were found decapitated amid the carnage.
Security officials blamed Al-Qaeda’s local affiliate, Jemaah Islamiya (JI), which carried out the Bali bombings of three years ago in which 202 people died, including 28 Britons.
Its top bombmaker, Azahari bin Husin, who completed a doctorate at Reading University in the 1990s and is known in his native Malaysia as “Demolition Man”, is suspected of involvement in the latest bombings.

So it seems there has been another bombing, suppossedly suicide, and this time it even includes a B movie super villian! There just one problem with the suicide bomber claim...
Police later said they had found three unexploded bombs in Jimbaran. They had apparently failed to go off after the security forces hastily shut down the island’s mobile telephone network following the first blasts.
Why have cell phone triggers for suicide bombers? Seems like homicide bomber is the correct term in this case since the people carring the bomb didn' set it off. Why wouldn't they?
This story doesn't even mention the other bombs and instead replaces this fact with statments from enraged victims.
It does however provide a video of one of the bombers...The video show a guy in the least crowded part of the restraunt. Now wouldn't a suicide bomber want to kill as many people as possible? So why is he off in the corner where he only killed one other person?

"He said at least three people helped the bombers carry out their attacks, but did not explain one of the many questions now facing police—why the bomb set off in the Raja restaurant did not do more damage.
Only one person (besides the suicide bomber) was killed at the restaurant. Police did not name the victim.
Pastika said authorities were probing whether the device was operated by a timer or set off by the suspect himself.
"We are investigating how the explosion took place," he said.
The video shown to reporters was edited and police, who did not indicate what happened to the group other than to say that the cameraman’s arm was injured, obscured the faces of the cameraman’s party."
