| Bali Bomb Suspect Said To Confess |
| 2002-11-22 |
| The alleged mastermind of last month's deadly nightclub bombings in Bali has confessed to planning and executing the attack that killed nearly 200 people, a top investigator said Friday. ``He has already confessed,'' said Gen. I Made Mangku Pastika, who is heading the investigation. "Uh... Those guys in the shorts? Are they, uh... Australian?" "Sure are." "You, uh... You ain't gonna let them..." "Sure am." "I confess. I dunnit! Just don't let 'em get me!" Police arrested Imam Samudra late Thursday on a bus in the port of Merak on Indonesia's main island of Java as he tried to reach a ferry bound for the western island of Sumatra. It was the biggest breakthrough of the investigation into the Oct. 12 blasts. Authorities now say they are confident that his remaining accomplices will be captured soon. Here's hoping they don't "forget" and let this guy out again... |

| #3 Indonesian authorities said today that they were hunting for three foreigners in connection with the Bali attack. It is believed possible that Mr. Samudra reached out to the foreigners as he escaped from Bali and traveled from east to west across the 660-mile island of Java. One of the foreigners being sought was described as a Yemeni who traveled on a forged American passport, an Indonesian official said. "A Yemeni with a forged passport? It's a wonder there is anybody left in Yeman. They seem to be everywhere. |

| #2 OK, I have to know if he pays a fee for his ATM use? "Turkish truncheons, Turkish Truncheons, what kind of cops use Turkish truncheons? Aussie cops, Indon cops, even most Qatar cops use truncheons, Turkish truncheons..." |
