| Brig. Gen. Edward Aritonang, a spokesman for the Bali bombing investigative team, said here on Thursday that there were strong indications that Amrozi and his accomplices had been planning to bomb other places besides Bali. "After conducting the bombing in Kuta, Bali, last Oct. 12, they planned to carry out similar actions in other parts of the country," Edward was quoted as saying by Antara. Anybody surprised? Last Monday, one ton of bomb-making materials was seized by police from the house of Arifah, a friend of Amrozi's, in Lamongan, East Java. Amrozi is believed to have acted as the field coordinator for the Bali bombings. The bombings in other parts of the country did not materialize as Amrozi and his accomplices were arrested in connection with the Bali bombings, Edward said. "Whoever thought the gummint would take blowing up a bunch of infidels so seriously?" |
