London Redux? Correction/UPDATE on the Bali Bombings: SUICIDE BOMBERS EMPLOYED.
By Zachary Abuza
In attacks that are eerily reminiscent of the London bombings, Indonesian officials have revealed that the three bombings were conducted by suicide bombers carrying between 5-10 kilograms of explosives in bags and/or belts.
"The modus operandi is very similar to the previous bombings, the use of backpacks, whose remnants were found at the scene of the blasts. By the evidence we can conclude the bombers were carrying the explosives around their waists,� said counter-terrorism chief, Major General Ansyaad Mbai.
26 people were killed, including 3 Australians and 2 Japanese. 118 were injured.
