In Reply to: BOMB found in BALI posted by Baliku on Thursday, 1. September 2005 at 05:00 Bali Time:
Just checked the breaking news on the newspaper website here - apparently this did happen. However, the report goes on to say there were NO explosives in the package - it was designed to scare people (which I'd say it will do).
I didnt see anything with regards to the Thailand bombing and I checked the whole website.
Just a thought - not putting down the Paradiso Hotel in Bali, or the seriousness of the potential act, but you would think if they were going to bomb a "major western target", if they were after a hotel, that they would pick a hotel that has a big name amongst westerners. I can think of a few that are icons in the western world.
Anyone else have thoughts on the "potential" bombing?
