Some of the bombers had been resident in Bali for quite a time. I suppose that it's a little like the old adage, 'locks only keep out honest people'. If you or I were planning a little wholesale wanton murder we'd probably be very careful to make sure the banjar didn't hear wouldn't we?
The things that the banjar control are funny. For example, they'll tell you whos cousin's brother's relative MUST collect your rubbish, but apparently it's totally inappropriate for them to intervene EVER in any cases of child or spousal abuse. That's for the family. I guess that some things are the same in any culture, hay?
