Police widen search in Bali blasts
The Associated Press, Reuters, Agence France-Presse
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2005
BALI, Indonesia Indonesia widened its search for suspects in last
weekend's suicide attacks on Bali island, calling on local authorities across
the country on Thursday to monitor and report suspicious activity.
Indonesian police also said that they were increasing security on Bali,
while forensic experts said they had identified three of the four previously
unidentified victims as Australian citizens.
The three bombers killed 19 people and wounded 100. Four Australians and
one Japanese are now confirmed to have died in Saturday's bombings. The
remaining 14 victims were from Indonesia.
The police are hunting for those who ordered the near-simultaneous
attacks on three restaurants crowded with foreign tourists, as well as those
who made the explosives. Indonesian police say they have taken DNA samples from
the families of the suspected bombers.
The Al Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiyah terrorist group - blamed for
nightclub bombings on Bali in 2002 that killed 202 people, mostly foreigners -
is suspected in the recent blasts.
The police have circulated photographs nationwide of the three bombers'
severed heads.
"All regional police chiefs are investigating suspicious activities in
their areas," said a police spokesman, Major General Ariyanto Budiharjo. "The
suicide bombers did not work alone. Someone must have ordered them. Someone
must have made the explosives."
Investigators were interrogating jailed terror convicts, checking if they
recognized the bombers, said the Bali police chief, Major General I Made Mangku
Pastika.
Officers have revealed little about the continuing probe, fearing that
information released to the media could help those linked to the attacks stay
one step ahead of them. Police say they have questioned at least 94 people but
have thus far named no suspects.
On Bali's Jimbaran beach, the police lifted the security cordon
surrounding the strip where two restaurants were hit but said the area's
eateries would only reopen for business after the installation of high-tech
security systems.
"We have got the permission from the police to remove the police line. It
was removed as of 2:15 p.m.," said Nyoman Dharmada, the head of the South Kuta
subdistrict police, which oversees Jimbaran beach.
"Before the restaurants begin operations, we will implement a new
security system. Only after that the businesses will open, hopefully within
three weeks," he said.
Police plan to set up road checks and a single entry point for the area,
install surveillance cameras, conduct body searches and establish a permanent
station nearby.
