| 2022-10-11 |
| [BenarNews] Twenty years after the Bali bombings, some survivors have come to terms with their injuries and loss of loved ones, and some have forgiven the militants who carried out the attacks that killed 202 people. But news that Umar Patek, the convict who helped assemble the bombs used in Indonesia’s worst terror attack, may be released on good behavior has angered many. Ni Luh Erniati, who lost her husband, Gede Badrawan, in the bombings, said she met Umar in the Porong penitentiary in neighboring East Java province on Sept. 23 as part of a government deradicalization program. |
