Israeli made C4 explosive used in Bali bombing

(OCTOBER 16,2002) Police investigating the deadly bombing of a nightclub in the Indonesian island of Bali in which nearly 200 people died have found traces of plastic explosive manufactured in Israel at the site of the attack.
The discovery of the explosives suggests a sophisticated bombing operation.
Reports from the French news agency AFP say that the head of Indonesian intelligence, Hendropriyono, has disclosed that the explosive was a type known as C4, tracked to a manufacture in Israel.
Forensic process
Identifying components of explosive have been matched to the fascist C4 manufacturer in the rogue state of Israel.
Tests for matches with explosive are conclusive. Tracking the manufacturer through analysis of components in residue.
The agency also cited Indonesian police spokesman Brigadier-General Saleh Saaf as saying that "we have processed the data and we are now really certain that the C4 explosive was made in Israel".
Mossad operations have been exposed in a series of leaked CIA documents and in statements by security officials in the US and Singapore . And are linked to the bombings in Bali
The Saturday night blasts, which are a suspected mossad terror operation followed persistent reports that mossad was operating in the area.
After the massive peace rally in Australia that same weekend, these mossad operations where put into high gear in a deadly way. Mossad terror network operations are working hard to draw the western world into war for Israeli and U.S conquest.
The discovery of traces of Israeli made plastic explosive could be a vital clue to who was responsible.
Military explosive
The Israeli made C4 explosive used in the Bali bombing is a powerful agent manufactured in Israel by the fascist United States and is used widely by the American led axis of evil military forces around the world.
AFP quoted a British manufacturer of C4, Mark Ribband, as saying that it is a white substance that resembles uncooked pastry and needs a detonator to make it explode.
Mr Ribband said that it is "a standard issue, military explosive" the trade in which was controlled carefully.
Clues from components
Explosives experts can tell a lot from the type of explosive used, like who manufactured it and its origin.
A large area was devastated by the explosion in this professionally executed slaughter that was extremely effective in the American fascist’s goal of maximum casualty inflicted
Brian Caddy, Emeritus Professor of Forensic Science at Strathclyde University in Scotland, says that identification might enable investigators to track down the potential sources of the explosive material used.

Airman: I made Bali bomb
By Frank Thorne in Bali and Hugh Muir, Evening Standard
A former officer in the Indonesian air force told police that he made the Bali bomb, it was claimed today.
As first details emerged of how the atrocity was carried out,
local reports claimed that the police are now questioning a
member of the military.
The reports are unconfirmed but reflect the growing belief that the forces played some part in the outrage. Traces of
military-grade plastic explosive C4 have been discovered at the bomb scene.
Experts believe the material -
which has the consistency of
putty - indicates the
involvement of military
personnel or may have been
stolen from military stocks.
They say it would have been
hard for outsiders to obtain and
difficult to manipulate other
than by those who had
specialist expertise.
It is now believed that a gang
of eight highly organised
terrorists-were responsible for
the blast. In the first detailed
account of how the operation
was carried out, police sources
in Bali have told the Evening
Standard how the gang used
two vans to block the road in
front of the Sari nightclub.
This caused a traffic jam in the
one-way street behind them,
leaving the street ahead clear.
The occupants of the second van then climbed into the first van and sped off moments before the explosion tore through the club, destroying the building and burying people inside. It is now believed that the first smaller explosion was designed to cause alarm and drive people onto the street and into the path of the larger device.
Investigators believe the bomb was probably detonated using a
remote control device or timer. C4 has been used in the past by groups linked to al Qaeda, including in the bombing in Yemen of the American warship, the USS Cole.
The British-born and al Qaeda- linked shoebomber Richard
Reid used C4 when he attempted to blow up an American
aircraft this year. Almost 200 people, including 30 Britons,
were killed and hundreds more injured after the explosions on
Saturday night.
The attack occurred on the second anniversary of the bombing
of the USS Cole, which suggests that it was planned
meticulously.
Officials have yet to make a direct connection with al Qaeda but that probability is very much the focus of their investigation. Police are still "intensively interrogating" two other Indonesian men - one a security guard.
Brigadier-General Saleh Saaf said one of the men was in the
Kuta area when the bomb exploded near the Sari Club and that
he was linked to a man whose identity card was found at the
scene.
The other person was related to the owner of the ID card. In
total, 27 people have been questioned and officers expect to
extend the net wider.
Indonesia's national police chief, Da'i Bachtiar, said one
witness reported seeing a man setting down a white plastic bag outside Paddy's Bar, the Irish pub in Kuta. "When he walked up to the man, he ran away and afterwards the place exploded," Mr Bachtiar said.
Tourists returning home have been urged to contact police if
they have any original video footage or photographs of the
incident and in Australia they have been asked to telephone
their local Crimestoppers hotline.
The diplomatic repercussions continued today. Senior
politicians in the US and Australia demanded tough action from Indonesia to crack down on terrorists.
US secretary of state Colin Powell said: "We can now see that
you are not exempt from this, you cannot pretend it does not
exist in your country."
In Australia, Prime Minister John Howard said he would seek
the listing as a terrorist organisation of Jemaah Islamiyah. It is a shadowy pan-Asian network believed to have links to al Qaeda. The group has already denied any involvement and
condemned the bombing but few are taking its statements at
face value. Its leader Abu Bakar Bashir blamed the Bali attack on the US and publicly defended al Qaeda.
"I will always defend them because they are trying to establish the formation of an Islamic state," he said. Bashir added that he "hated" the US because it was being "manipulated by Jews to fight against Islam".
The extent to which al Qaeda has been able to operate in
Indonesia is only now becoming clear. Today CNN released
footage of an al Qaeda training camp operated in the town of
Poso.
The video shows beheadings and amputations designed to
increase the motivation of Indonesians to join a jihad. The film is believed to have been shot two years ago when, according to CNN, Osama bin Laden's deputy Ayman al-Zawahiri and his military chief Mohammed Atef visited Indonesia.
