US Intelligence - Bali Attack 'Sophisticated'

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The bombings of a popular nightclub strip in the Indonesian resort island of Bali were conducted by a "sophisticated" terrorist group because of the large amount of high explosives used and the coordination of the attacks, a U.S. intelligence official said on Monday.

That is why U.S. intelligence agencies believe the Saturday night bombings of an area frequented by foreign tourists was probably the work of a group linked to al Qaeda which would have the capability of striking that type of blow. More than 180 people were killed in the attacks.

"We haven't come to any final conclusions, but it's clearly the work of a sophisticated terrorist organization of which there are only a few, there are some in that region that are associated with al Qaeda like JI (Jemaah Islamiah)," a U.S. intelligence official told Reuters.

"There were near simultaneous explosions designed to inflict the greatest amount of casualties on innocent people," the official said.

Al Qaeda has been blamed for coordinated attacks against Western targets such as the 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya, and the Sept. 11, 2001, suicide attacks that used four hijacked planes as weapons.

The network has also been linked to the USS Cole bombing in 2000 when a small boat carrying explosives blew up alongside the U.S. destroyer off Yemen, gouging a huge hole in its side.

U.S. intelligence agencies are also analyzing whether the Bali bombings were linked in some way to recent shooting deaths of U.S. Marines in Kuwait and an explosion at a French tanker off the coast of Yemen.

The speculation was that they could all be the work of independent terror cells responding to a call by al Qaeda leaders for increased action, officials said.

Qatar's al Jazeera television has recently broadcast audiotapes of Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenant Ayman al-Zawahri, as well as a statement the station said was faxed that carried bin Laden's signature. The messages called on Muslims to conduct war against the United States and Israel.

U.S. intelligence officials said the authenticity of the latest reported bin Laden statement had not been determined. U.S. intelligence agencies had earlier determined the audiotapes were probably genuine. The one by Zawahri was made in recent months, but the time frame for the one made by bin Laden could not be determined, they said.

The al Qaeda messages broadcast on Jazeera, along with other electronic communications picked up by U.S. intelligence agencies, have shown the type of increased "chatter" among terrorist suspects that have preceded past attacks, said Sen. Richard Shelby, an Alabama Republican.

"Most of the time there have been terrorist attacks immediately after a lot of signal traffic," Shelby, vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said.

That happened before the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa, the USS Cole attack and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, he said.

"These are not isolated incidents," Shelby said of the recent attacks in Bali, Kuwait and Yemen. "They are measured, they are planned, they are part of the terrorist attacks, and there will be more," he told Reuters.

BALI BLAST WHICH KILLED 187+ WAS "MICRO-NUKE"
Visitor on Island is Hal Turner Show Listener;
Sent pics and footage from video!
By Hal Turner
From: http://www.halturnershow.com/BaliBombBlast.html
BALI- A tourist on holiday on the island of Bali has sent the Hal Turner Show astonishing, first-hand video footage excerpts and pictures of the recent bomb blast which claimed over 187 lives, injured over 300, destroyed 47 buildings and over 100 cars.
WARNING: The photos below show graphic carnage including humans decapitated, burnt to death in a pile of human remains and others who are severely injured. These photos ought not be viewed by those weak of heart.
Video clearly shows a rising mushroom cloud over the blast area, with the characteristic airborne flames burning at a sustained interval after the initial blast. This is not achievable with typical explosives because they explode and burn at ground level, rising only as high as the force of the initial blast can carry them, and extinguishing within a second or two.

The Videographer reports a blinding white flash caught everyone's attention, prompting them to turn to the direction of the flash and record the subsequent mushroom cloud! As is common knowledge, only a nuclear explosion yields a blinding white flash and subsequent mushroom cloud with airborne flame.
Several blocks away, ignited by "white hot flash"

Soil, air and debris samples have been obtained from VERY near the blast site - without intruding upon police evidence collection procedures or violating any local laws. Those soil samples are already off the island and enroute to a reputable laboratory for confirmation of radioactive - or other- contamination.

The lab is in possession of records which document the radioactive "signatures" of various weapons-grade plutonium, uranium and other fissionable materials produced around the world. This lab will be able to say with certainty if this was a nuclear incident and if so, will be able to cite from which nation the fissionable material likely originated! Test results will be released on The Hal Turner Show web site when they become available.
I have also arranged for the results to be distributed via another web site should I suddenly disappear or otherwise become "incapacitated."

US Warned Indonesia of Terror Threat

By Michael Sheridan

From: http://www.propagandamatrix.com/US_warned_Indonesia_of_terror_threat.html
THE United States ambassador to Jakarta, Ralph Boyce, had warned the Indonesian government only a few days before the blasts in Bali that unless it acted against terrorist groups posing a threat to westerners, America would begin to withdraw its diplomatic staff.
Last night those terrorists appeared to have struck at one of the most vulnerable and valuable targets in the country in a night of carnage on the paradise island of Bali, Indonesia's main source of tourist revenue.
The attacks will be a shattering blow to the "Island of the gods" which draws visitors from all over the world to experience mellow, exotic beauty and colourful Hindu traditions amid the world's most populous Muslim nation.
Bali's laid-back image is an affront to groups of Islamic extremists who want to bomb Indonesia's 220 million people into a sharia state run on Saudi Arabian lines.
The island has little security and is open to anyone seeking to strike soft targets as it gears up for an influx of tens of thousands of Christmas tourists from Australia, Europe, the United States and Japan.
Western intelligence officials have been arguing for more than a month with their Indonesian counterparts for action after the capture in west Java of a senior Al-Qaeda terrorist, Omar Al-Faruq, whose leaked confessions described plans to attack local targets.
The CIA had even presented Indonesian officials with evidence of an Al-Qaeda plot to assassinate President Megawati Sukarnoputri.
But US and British officials have openly admitted their frustration as the Indonesians failed to arrest individuals they believe are directly involved in planning and committing terrorism.
Megawati's government is a coalition dependent on the support of Islamic religious parties and she fears a backlash from Muslim activists who are trying to wreak havoc in a nation that has a long tradition of religious harmony.
Last night's explosions are likely to force the government to confront its most radical opponents or risk the destruction of a multi-million-pound tourist industry that is one of the country's few resources after the Asian financial crash and the chaotic overthrow of its longtime dictator, General Suharto, in 1998.
Indonesia boasts a bewildering proliferation of groups competing for hardline Islamic support, including a murderous militia called Laskar Jihad, which has used ethnic cleansing methods to expel Christians from the Spice Islands.
But western officials have identified one group, Jamaah Islamiyah, as the most credible terrorist threat following a visit to its leaders two years ago by Osama Bin Laden's second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahiri.
They have singled out a firebrand cleric, Abu Bakar Basyir, as the spiritual guide of the group. In two recent interviews with The Sunday Times, Basyir denied any connections to terrorism, although he vowed to go on preaching that Muslims had a duty to use violence in a just religious cause.
Basyir, 65, has been linked to Al-Qaeda in a series of leaked CIA documents and in statements by security officials in the US and Singapore. Both countries have demanded, in vain, that Indonesia detain him.
A defiant Basyir filed lawsuits in a Jakarta court for defamation against the CIA and Time magazine, which printed details of the allegations.
The accusations are partly based on an alleged confession by Al-Faruq, a 31-year-old Kuwaiti said to be an emissary of Al-Qaeda in southeast Asia.
Indonesian security agents, acting on a tip-off from the CIA, arrested Al-Faruq in west Java last June. Three months later, the CIA interrogators are said to have broken Al-Faruq's resistance and extracted testimony against Basyir.
After the Indonesians complained that they had received nothing in exchange for their assistance, the Americans handed over the dossier and demanded they arrest Basyir.
