Suspects Named In Bali Bomb Probe

[maddezmom]

CBS/AP) Suicide bombers wearing explosive vests targeted tourist resorts on Bali with coordinated attacks that devastated three crowded restaurants on the Indonesian resort island, killing at least 25 people, officials said Sunday.

Authorities named two al Qaeda-linked Malaysian fugitives suspected of masterminding the 2002 nightclub bombings on the same Indonesian island as the likely culprits behind the latest carnage, which has raised doubts about the success of a regional crackdown on the Southeast Asian terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah.

CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports that although no one has claimed responsibility for the bombings yet, experts say the attacks look like the work of the extremist group Jemaah Islamiyah, which claims links to al Qaeda and which has organized a series of terrorist attacks.

Members of Jemaah Islamiyah were convicted of the attacks on tourist-packed nightclubs in Bali in 2002 that killed 202 people and for other deadly bombings in the world's most populous Muslim country.

Of course, you know what's next. According to the script, bush will come out in another photo-op to tell us how we can't question him about anything regarding him or his administration because he's got to fight terra! Over there, not here. With us or against us! Evil doers!

Translation: Support me or we'll kill you. (It's the same message they used during the last "election.")

tody with important info on Jemaah Islamiyah but won't give Indonesian security people access to him. They think they can get at two main ringleaders still at large through this guy they seek. No follow up by BBC reporter doing the interview on this matter that would seem to have the utmost urgency to be resolved. Typical
