The Bali Nightclub Bombing
On October 12, 2003, at 11:05 pm local time, an extremely powerful explosive device destroyed the Sari nightclub in Bali, Indonesia, killing 187 people and injuring more than 300 others. The device was planted in a monsoon drain approximately five feet under the road nearby. It excavated a crater to this depth and the force of the blast set some 27 buildings in the neighborhood on fire, the blast itself destroying the nightclub.
No known conventional explosive is powerful enough to have the destructive effect of this one, yet still fit inside a localized section of drain. However micro nuclear devices are small enough to fit most public drains and can be "fished" into place from the nearest maintenance port.
Australian physicians were puzzled at "flash burns" on victims. Other victims vanished "without a trace." Media claimed that a fuel-air explosive packed into a van was the source of the blast. It is absolutely impossible for a passive explosive of whatever nature to dig a five-foot crater. Moreover, a fuel-air explosive could not account for the damage.
Micro nuclear devices, called SADMs (special atomic demolition munitions) not only have yields within the range of conventional explosives, they leave almost no gamma radiation at all after the initial blast, owing to the purity of their plutonium 239 cores. They will easily fit in a suitcase.
Victims of the blast were dying weeks later for no apparent reason - unless it was from inhaling deadly plutonium released into the local atmosphere. This l (radioactive or not) is a slow-acting but lethal poison, once in the human lung.
Initially, one Abu Bakar Bashir was blamed for the blast. Bashir not only denied any responsibility, but blamed America and Israel for the blast, instead. Then, under pressure from the west, the Indonesian government found an auto mechanic named Amrozi, who, after being tortured with 220 volt electrodes, "confessed" to the crime. He also "confessed" to links with Al Qaeda, etc. etc. Indonesian parliamentary speaker Amien Rais stated publicly that he doubted that Amrozi was responsible for the blasts.
All soil and debris was removed from the area and dumped far out at sea. Even before the cleanup, no trace (even a fingertip) was ever been found of some 30 people who are known to have been in the immediate area of the blast. Anyone too near the center of the initial wave of intense (approximately 400,000 degree Celsius) heat would have been instantly vaporized.
No less than half a dozen explosive mixtures have been proposed in the media to explain the blast. But if Amrozi is responsible, why not just ask him? Would he say "micro nuke?" We doubt it.
The primary purpose of the attack was to convince Australians of the need to join Bush's "War on Terror." A secondary purpose was to keep the pressure on Muslims worldwide.
