| Al Qaeda man linked to Bali bombing |
| 2002-11-25 |
| A senior al Qaeda operative from Yemen is one of three "critical" suspects being hunted by authorities over the Bali bombing, reports Time magazine. It identified the Yemeni as Syafullah, whose activities included the 1996 bombing of a United States military barracks in Saudi Arabia that killed 19 servicemen. The Kobar Towers bombing. If they catch him, I want to tie him across the exhaust of a F-16 and hit the afterburner. Time said one of the other two "top-tier" suspects was an Indonesian militant named Syawal, who was an instructor at an al Qaeda-linked training camp on the island of Sulawesi. The other man police are hunting is a Malaysian, Zubair, who reportedly fought in Afghanistan in the late 1980s and is suspected of leading the surveillance and mapping team for the Bali attack on October 12. Another controller. He's on the run, most likely out of country by now. If proved, Syafullah could be the first member of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda organisation, which carried out last year's September 11 attacks on the US, to be directly linked to the Bali bombings. Although some Indonesian and many foreign Governments have blamed al Qaeda for the Bali attacks, authorities have yet to arrest or publicly name any al Qaeda member. They have names for these guys, which means someone is talking. |
