Jelly2003 Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Bali has been bombed again for the second time in 3 years. Several explosions went off in popular tourist resturants in Bali killing 25 people. Bali is an Indonesian island which is very popular with western tourists. On the 12th of October 2002 night clubs in Bali were bombed killing 202 people. Links below: ABC - Au Sydney Morning Herald BBC CNN What really annoys me is that not only are these terrorists killing innocent people but they also are devastating the economy of a small island which is dependent on tourism. I have no idea how these terrorists think they gain sympathy, understanding or get why they want by committing these acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curme Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 The world hasn't cared what happens in Indonesia for a long time. Remember the genocide in East Timor? The world just stood by and let it happen. Freedom from dictators? Only if you have oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
