Al Qaeda admits Bali blasts on Web

DENPASAR, Indonesia (CNN) -- Islamic militant group al Qaeda has claimed
responsibility for the bomb attack on a Bali nightclub in which more than
180 people died.
The group said it had targeted "nightclubs and whorehouses in Indonesia" in
a Web site message which also boasted of its aim to hit inside Arab and
Islamic countries which are part of a "Jewish-Crusader" alliance.
The Web site has been used in the past by al Qaeda to claim responsibility
for attacks, including the synagogue fire in Tunisia in which mainly German
tourists died, and strikes on two ships in Yemen.
The al Qaeda message read: "By attempting to strike a U.S. plane in Saudi
Arabia and by bombing a Jewish synagogue in Tunisia, destroying two ships in
Yemen, attacking the Fialka base in Kuwait, and bombing nightclubs and
whorehouses in Indonesia, al Qaeda has shown it has no qualms about
attacking inside Arab and Islamic lands."
The statement was translated by CNN.

"This is provided that the target belongs to the Jewish-Crusader alliance,"
it continues. The synagogue bombing took place in April and killed 19
people, most of them German tourists. The attacks on the French oil tanker
off the coast of Yemen and on U.S. Marines training in Kuwait happened in
October.
Several men were arrested in Saudi Arabia in June accused of plotting to
shoot down aircraft, reported to have included U.S. military planes based at
Prince Sultan airbase. In an interview with CNN, Deputy Defense Secretary
Paul Wolfowitz said he had also seen a translation of the statement, "It's a
hijacking of Islam. It's a distortion of Islam," he said.
Wolfowitz echoed others, including President George W. Bush, in calling the
Bali bombing the work of al Qaeda. "I think anybody looking at the evidence
of everything that's been happening over the last 10 years, and particularly
the last 18 months, would have to say this has all of the hallmarks of an al
Qaeda operation," he told CNN.
"We can see it from their Web sites, that al Qaeda views this as a major
target for disruption and recruitment and for conducting terrorist attacks,"
Wolfowitz added, saying that the Bali attack had been a wake-up call for the
Indonesian government and people in the war on terrorism.
The claim came after Indonesian police said a suspect had confessed during
interrogation to being part of a group which carried out the Bali bomb
blasts in the October 12 attack on the Sari Club in the resort town of Kuta.

The man, claiming to have planted the Bali bomb, told interrogators he had
left it in a minivan, National Police Chief Da'i Bachtiar said.
According to a spokesman for the international team of investigators, Amrozi
was arrested on Wednesday on the main Indonesian island of Java after police
identified him as the van's owner.
He was later flown to Bali for questioning.
Police are still searching for his colleagues.

CNN: Al-Qaidah Mengaku sebagai Pelaku Pengeboman di Bali

TEMPO Interaktif, Jakarta: Jaringan Al-Qaidah, yang terkait serangkaian aksi
terorisme di dunia, mengaku bertanggung jawab atas pengeboman yang terjadi
di Bali, 12 Oktober lalu. Demikian dilansir oleh kantor berita CNN, Kamis
(7/11), setelah menerjemahkan sebuah situs internet milik jaringan pimpinan
Usamah bin Ladin itu.
Mengenai pengeboman di Bali yang menewaskan sedikitnya 184 orang, Al-Qaidah
menyebutkan bahwa pihaknya memang telah menjadikan klub-klub malam dan
lokalisasi pelacur di Indonesia sebagai sasaran aksinya. Mereka juga
melansir rencana menyerang Arab Saudi dan negara-negara Islam yang menjadi
sekutu Israel. Dalam situs jaringan itu, seperti diterjemahkan CNN,
dikatakan, "Melalui percobaan penyerangan terhadap pesawat Amerika Serikat
di Arab Saudi dan mengebom sinagog Yahudi di Tunisia, menghancurkan dua
kapal di Yaman, penyerangan pangkalan Fialka di Kuwait, dan membom klub
malam dan rumah bordil di Indonesia, Al-Qaidah telah memperlihatkan bahwa
tidak ada kekhawatiran kami untuk menyerang ke dalam Arab dan negara-negara
Islam. Ini membuktikan bahwa target-target itu milik sekutu Yahudi."
