I saw your other post below about getting messages before the blasts. Are you saying someone told you beforehand what was going to happen? I have to admit I'm skeptical...if information about terrorism circulates among Balinese beforehand, then why are the acts successful? You'd think that if people know, as you imply, they'd at the very least tell someone else (wouldn't you, if you possessed such information, at the very least tell your spouse or best friend?), who would in turn tell someone else...and then at the time of the attacks there would be no victims left.
What I'm hoping you aren't saying is that the Balinese would actually select who they might tip off, yet stand by and let a bomb explode. I would like to believe that that isn't true.
