| Samudra Defiant as Trials Loom |
| 2003-01-05 |
| Imam Samudra, one of the suspected masterminds of the Bali bombings, has reiterated his anti-American sentiments, while authorities say official charges will soon be laid against the suspected culprits. "Pray for America's destruction," Samudra shouted on Saturday while being taken by police to stage a re-enactment of meetings allegedly held by the suspects to plan the attacks. âThe war is not over yet! Islam must win! America must be destroyed!â I'd suggest we pray God strike Samudra, and all the people like him, dead. Samudraâs anti-American outburst adds weight to fellow suspect Amroziâs claim that the sole aim of the bombings was to kill as many Americans as possible. Oh! Well, why didn't you say so? That makes it okay... But some analysts still harbor doubts about this claim, as almost half of the 192 people killed in the October 12 nightclub bombings were Australian, whereas there were only six American casualties. Conspiracy theorists reckon there may have been a military role in the killings, although there is no hard evidence yet to verify this. |

| #1 So incompitent its pathetic. Wants to kill Americans, instead he kills Australians. If we hadn't caught him the Argentinians, Albanians, Algerians and Afghanistani would have been next in line before the knucklehead figured it out. |
