【1月3日付けの『ジャカルタポスト』紙にショッキングな調査分析【1を参照】を書いてバリ島爆破事件の公式発表【2を参照】に疑惑を投げかけたロバート・フィネガン記者が、インドネシアのこの英語新聞から解雇されていた。】

Finnegan's brief statement says:
【フィネガン氏の簡単な声明文は以下のとおり】

-----------------------------------------------------------
On January 25 2003, veteran investigative journalist Robert S. Finnegan was fired from The Jakarta Post, Jakarta Indonesia as a direct result of his reporting on the October 12 bombing in Kuta, Bali.
【2003年1月25日、調査報道のベテラン記者であるロバート・フィネガン氏は『ジャカルタポスト』から解雇された。これは昨年10月12日にバリ島のクタで起きた爆破事件を追いかけた彼の報道が、直接の原因になっている。】

The Jakarta Post management caved in to pressure exerted by international interests to terminate the reporter after his investigation uncovered CIA connections to the bombing.

Bali Bombing: An Investigator's Analysis
【バリ島爆破事件の調査分析】
[More Terror] - Winston Smith @ 14:11:28

Robert S. Finnegan, an editor with The Jakarta Post, wrote an article entitled Bali bombing: An investigator's analysis which appeared in The Jakarta Post on January 3rd 2003.
【『ジャカルタポスト』編集者のロバート・フィネガン氏は2003年1月3日付けの同紙に「バリ島爆破事件:ある調査分析」という記事を書いた。】

It was indexed promptly by Google and attracted some interest - although no coverage, as far as I'm aware, by other 'mainstream' media.
【この記事はすぐにグーグルに登録され、多くの人々を惹きつけたが、私の知るかぎり“主流派”のメディアは完全にこれを黙殺した。】

The article rapidly disappeared from The Jakarta Post website and has been de-indexed by Google. It has disappeared down the Memory Hole within a fortnight...
【しかもこの記事は『ジャカルタポスト』から姿を消し、そればかりかグーグルからも抹消されたのである。つまり完全に世の中から抹殺されたのであるが……その画策も二週間ほどしか持たなかった。】

With the author's permission, Feral News has reproduced the article HERE. 【★】
【フィネガン記者の許可を得て、『フェラル・ニュース』では問題の記事【★印参照】を再録した。】

Of related interest is a timeline also published in the Jakarta Post - see Timetile: The Bali bombing, a comprehensive overview【★★】.
【『ジャカルタポスト』紙が「バリ島爆破事件:ある調査分析」と同じ日に掲載した事件経緯を示す日譜【★★を参照】も興味ぶかい。】

Finnegan's questioning approach to investigating the Bali terror outrage makes him stand out from a large field of lazy media hacks content to regurgitate the US/UK/Australian 'official line', which is starting to look as flawed (and fabricated) as the 9/11 'official version'.
【バリ島テロ事件の公式発表への疑問を提起したフィネガン氏の調査報道は、おろかな主流派メディアから黙殺されたわけだが、そうした主流派メディアによる米英オーストラリア当局の“大本営発表”おうむ返しが、米国の9・11事変をめぐって宣伝されてきた“大本営発表”と同様に、いまや間違い(でデッチ上げのインチキ犯罪)だったことが明らかになりだしている。】

How many more mass murders will it take before a critical mass of mainstream journalists wake up and start digging below the surface?
【主流派メディアの記者たちが目を覚まし、うわっつらの出来事ではなく事件の深層を調査し始めるまでに、この先、どれだけ多くの人命が犠牲にされていくのだろうか?】

Bali bombing: An investigator's analysis
by Robert S. Finnegan, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

Note: this article appeared first in the Jakarta Post, January 3rd 2003.
It is no longer available on the Jakarta Post website.
【注記:この記事は当初、2003年1月3日付け『ジャカルタ
 ポスト』紙に掲載されたが、同紙のウェブサイトから削除された。】

On October 12, 2002 the Indonesian island of Bali experienced a terrorist attack that rocked the world. It was unquestionably well-coordinated and executed, the largest in the country's history.

Investigators and forensics experts from both national and international teams that had quickly been assembled flocked to the crime scene, ostensibly to begin what should have been a long, drawn out exercise in forensics and investigative sleuthing to identify and capture the foot soldiers, coordinators and masterminds behind the attack that has left over 190 known dead, scores missing without a trace and hundreds more wounded.

It has turned out to be anything but that.

The Indonesian government immediately vowed to unite in the hunt for the bombers.

The U.S. government along with the international community seized the opportunity to point the finger at the shadowy al-Qaeda group along with Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir as the culprits.

In hindsight, it would appear that perhaps these individuals, given their apparent intimate knowledge of the perpetrators immediately following the bombing should have been included on the investigating team. Perhaps if they had we would know more than we do today, which is very little despite the volume of information (or disinformation) being vomited out by the spokesmen for the investigative teams on a daily basis.

A creeping sense of foreboding began soon after the forensics people and other investigators (inclusive of Insp. Gen. I Made Pastika and his army of hundreds of supposedly top-notch investigators with virtually unlimited resources at their disposal) announced after only a week and a half that they were wrapping up their on-site work and retreating to the labs to analyze their findings. Astounding work, as it must have set a world record for crime scene forensic analysis.

Given the scope of the bombing and the sheer size of the primary and secondary blast areas - where trace from a plethora of different explosive compounds were swabbed from - this was a feat that escaped even the vaunted investigators working the World Trade Center crime scene in New York, who spent nearly a year literally sifting by hand for evidence at the site. It would appear that the teams on Bali possessed far superior skills and techniques ... or was there something else responsible for their haste in wrapping up so quickly and then sending the rest of the evidence as quickly as possible to the bottom of the ocean off Bali?

At this point in their investigation National Police Chief Gen. Da'i Bachtiar states for the record that "traces of a chemical powder used in the bomb" were found in the van allegedly used to transport the large device. What powder? Even a cursory examination of the crater and primary site immediately following the bombings would make this statement laughable were it not for the circumstances.

If indeed the Mitsubishi L300 van was used in the large blast, the five-foot deep by twenty-foot wide crater indicates that it would have been completely vaporized, including the engine block which they apparently found intact - along with the victims who instantly vanished. Indeed, this begs the question: Where did the investigators obtain this evidence in relation to the crater?

Is it possible that if the van survived the large blast it was because it was parked at the edge of the primary blast zone, packed with small amounts of all the explosives - whose traces were found at the sites - in order to throw off independent investigators?

In addition, there is the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), allegedly signed jointly by the National Police and the international investigation team, specifically restricting the scope of the "investigation links" and prohibiting international inquiries. Could this at least partially explain why Pastika has continually stonewalled, intimidated and generally obstructed independent investigators during the course of their work?

During the first weeks of the investigation, notables such as State Intelligence Agency (BIN) Chief Hendropriyono, Susilo Yudhoyono, Assembly Speaker Amien Rais and Pastika focused or pretended to focus on foreigners - without specifying "which" foreigners - who they said were behind the attack. Somehow this twisting, turning trail dried up and disappeared into thin air without explanation, along with the former retired Air Force Officer who allegedly confessed to police his involvement in the bombing and was then released. To this day his whereabouts remain unknown and police investigators either cannot or will not release any information on this man, an officer who was allegedly trained in America in explosives and is an incredible lead that should have been followed-up on aggressively and thoroughly. Why was it not?

Are these the statements and actions of professional investigators - or the actions of individuals engaged in a cover-up?

Let's look at the myriad of explosive traces found at the site and subsequently cited individually off and on by investigators and police as "the explosive" used in the bombings.

First it was C-4, then RDX. These two are actually the same, the difference being nine percent mallable plastic used in C-4. So, which is more powerful? RDX - nine percent more powerful than C-4.

Day after day, investigators trotted out a different explosive and combinations of explosives purportedly responsible for the blasts. In addition to C-4 and RDX there was now TNT, Ammonium Nitrate, HMX, Semtex, PETN, Chlorate and napalm. Everything but the kitchen sink. Was this gross ineptitude? Or another ploy to throw independent investigators off the trail?

For example, had the originators of the napalm theory studied up on the material before opening their mouths they would have known that napalm leaves a sticky, smelly residue on everything, including victims. This was not in evidence at the blast site or at the Sanglah burn ward and morgue, where the burn victims were taken. Therefore, in the absence of any physical evidence, napalm must be excluded and the originators of this farce be awarded a grade of "F" in "explosives analysis." In other words, if you are going to lie, be professional about it at least know what you are lying about and have the mental capacity to remember what you said when you said it. This single evidentiary template could easily be applied and extended to the entire "official investigation" of the Bali bombings where deceit, obstruction and obfuscation are and have been the name of the game.

To put this in perspective, let us look at three of the explosives claimed by official investigators to have been used in the bombings, starting with the compound that has the lowest velocity of detonation in feet per second (FPS) which is Potassium Chlorate at 3,500 FPS; compared to 12,000 FPS for Ammonium Nitrate and diesel and finally 27,800 FPS for RDX. In simple terms, at any given distance from ground zero these different explosive compounds will exert pressure in pounds per square inch. Damage to people and structures are a result of this pressure in varying degrees depending on the velocity of detonation. Even if RDX were used, the amount needed to cause the level of destruction in evidence at the crime scene should have been in excess of anything available through even the military, who denied possession of the explosive. There is also the delivery of the device to be taken into account.

Each of the explosives cited by investigators (with the exception of napalm) have unique and individual characteristics that vary for usage, stability and explosive yeild. They require specific detonators for each in order to obtain maximum effect.

Also now at the bottom of the ocean off Bali is the reinforcing bar (rebar) located more than fifty feet from ground zero that had been completely stripped of concrete as a result of the blast. Documented military estimates of the force required to accomplish this is roughly 1 million to 1.5 million pounds per square inch.

What kind of weapon or device could accomplish this? And for that matter leave a crater of that size? Why was it filled in? This arguably could have been one of the most important pieces of evidence available to investigators not only for the trace explosive in evidence, but from which also could have been determined (roughly) the size and composition of the device.

With the police claiming (off and on) that Amrozi, Mukhlas and Samudra (who allegedly at one point denied involvement in the Bali bombings) were the perpetrators of the blasts, then why do the official investigators not know EXACTLY the type of device used in the main bombing and its precise composition? To put it quite simply, how can we have a bomber or bombers in the absence of a bomb?

Why were Amrozi and Samudra so quick to confess and finger their "accomplices"? Were these the actions of dedicated, radical, Islamic fundamentalists? "Professionals"? Did they expect to further their cause by eviscerating their own organization? Does it make sense that they were willing to kill and maim hundreds of innocents - including many fellow Indonesians - and yet implicate their comrades to save their own skins?

Given this dismal investigative performance, exactly what role did the international investigating team play in this debacle?

If indeed there is one thing that has been glaringly apparent throughout this investigation, it is that perhaps nothing close to the truth has been told as of today. It is also apparent that something is very, very wrong not only with the procedural aspects of this case, but also with the suppression and outright destruction of evidence. The international investigators bear a heavy responsibility for this, and should be held accountable.

Summary of the Bali Blast Case

by Made Mangku Pastika

■■ Introduction

The Bali Blast case occurred on Saturday, 12 October 2002 in three locations:

●Raya Puputan street, Renon-Denpasar
●Paddys Pub, Legian street-Kuta
●In front of Sari Club, Legian street-Kuta

The Bali Blast caused many casualties and damage on property/buildings as well as on other public facilities.

Several main steps were need to be taken: Firstly, how to provide emergency facilities to evacuate the living victims and identify the dead victims, Secondly, how to resolve the Bali Blast disaster and detect the perpetrators; and thirdly, how to restore security in Bali and avoid the society into a horizontal conflict.

The explanation on the Bali Blast investigation will be elaborated begin with the formation of the Investigation Team, The crime scene processing, Perpetrators of the Bali Blast, Scenario of the Bali blast, Association of the Bali bomb blast perpetrators with Jama'ah lslamiyyah. The Foreign Support Group, and Various Obstacles as well as some considerations regarding the Bali Blast case.


■■ Forming an Investigation Team

For the purpose of resolving the case, an investigation team has been formed involving a number of Police forces. This team is comprised of:

●Intelligence Team (INP/Indonesian National Police and other intelligence agencies)
●Criminal Investigation Team
●Supporting Team comprised of the INP Forensic Laboratory, INP identification Division, INP Med"cal Unit, INP Psychology Unit, NCB/Interpol and International Police Agencies (AFP, FBI, Scotland Yard, Japan NPA, BKA-Germany, France, New Zealand, PNP, Sweden and the Netherlands).
●Analysis and Evaluation Team
●Spokesperson Team.

Members of the team are derived from suitably qualified officers.


■■ Crime Scene Processing

The crime scene was seemingly ruined and unprotected (though the police line had been set up). This is due to evacuation of the living victims, water jets which came from the broken pipes and fire brigade, and the public's curiosity. This could have an effect on the status quo of the crime scene.

The crime scene process involve 510 personnel in which comprise of 400 IMP and 110 International Police officers who have various experts on Bombs, Chemistry, Ballistics, Metallurgy. Medicals, DNA, Geology, Identification, Automotives, and Investigation. The process took 34 days to accomplish it (since 12 October until 15 November 2002).

Base on the eye witnesses, the bomb blast caused a strong explosion followed by a big fireball in the air as a mushroom cloud, strong air pressure from the source of the explosion, and the explosion heard within a radius of 25 kilometers.

The bomb blast has left a number of Casualties, 192 people killed in which 187 bodies had been identified, 5 bodies unidentified and 140 bodies parts still under examination by DVI/Disaster Victim Identification, badly damaged on : 58 buildings, 19 cars and 32 motorcycles. (data by 9 January 2003)

Bomb Blast in PADDY'S Pub was occurred at 23. 08' - " WITA (Middle Indonesian Time). Based on the forensic laboratory examination, It was found residues of TNT and RDX, so the Bomb analist assumed that was a high power explosive bomb. The position of bomb was presumed to be a suicide bomb.

Second Bomb was occurred in front of Sari Club at 23.08'29" WITA. The crater was a diameter of 4 meters and a depth of 60 centimeters, radius of fire burn 100 - 200 meters and radius of ruined buildings 200 - 400 meters. It was found residus of Chlorate, Potassium Chlorate, Nitrate and TNT in the crater, on the leaves of trees, and on the upper portion of the electricity pole, assumed to be a low power explosive car bomb.

The third bomb was occurred at Raya Puputan Renon - Denpasar (23.08'31" WITA). It was found residus of TNT, fragments of a shattered cellular phone Nokia brand type 5110 code no. DMC 00455-3. this was assumed to be a high power explosive bomb and was triggered by the vibration of the cellular phone.

The initial inquiry began after reconstructing fragments of a Mitsubishi Celt L -300, which led to establish Public Transportation Test Number (Code DPR 15463) and Chassis Number L300 B - 011230. The vehicle was made neary 1981-1983. Based on the data from Traffic Registration Division, the registration number was DK 1324 BS (Denpasar) and the owner was known as ANAK AGUNG KETUT ADI. The vehicle has been sold to other persons and last buyer was M. ROZI aka AMROZI (Tenggulun Village, Solokuro District, Lamongan City - East Java)

Critical inquiry has been conducted to uncover the case particularly to identify the perpetrators. Referred to M. ROZI aka AMROZI testimony and associated with Born analysis, it was detected that Ball Born Blast was conducted by a group of people with international support and well planning.

Recently, The investigation Team had apprehended 30 suspects, consisting of five main suspects, four suspects ready to be a suicide bomb, and 21 suspects who aided the five main suspects, (financial support, hiding the suspects, concealing information regarding the suspects). They were apprehended in East Java, West Java (Banten), Central Java and East Kalimantan. All of them have being held by the Bali Regional Police for trial One them namely M. ROZI aka AMROZI, his brief was still under examination Denpasar Attorney. There are 10 other main suspects allegedly involved direct to the Bali bombing either as the Master Mind, financial support or as other functions

■■ Cooperation with Foreign Police

It needs a mutual cooperation among others (INP and Foreign Police Agencies) which involved various experts in crime scene processing, telecommunication, chemistry, bomb analysis, ballistic, money laundering, computer and dactiloscopy.

The cooperation is not only in personnel matters but also in technology with sophisticated devices likely computers assessment and Cellular Mobile Detector and telecommunication intercept.

The system of investigation has being done based on forensic science (Scientific Forensic investigation) supported by highly performance (professional) in line with the prevailing rules and regulation.

The operational is coordinated by the INP although many assistance have been provided by Foreign Polices whose performance are bound in a memorandum of understanding between the Indonesia Government represented by the Chief of INP (Kapolri) and the Australia Government represented by the Chief of AFP (Australian Federal Police) based upon Article 43 PERPU R No 1/2002 referring to the United Nations Resolution on against Terrorism.

PERPU RI enable the INP to perform investigation optimally because the existed rules is ineffective to further investigation, particularly in arresting and detaining suspects of the Bali bombing perpetrators.


■■ Various Obstacles

Some obstacles have been encountered during the investigation due to the absence of a regulation refer to the involvement of foreign agencies. Firstly, the interpretation of PERPU RI, different perceptions remain within the INF and also among Criminal Justice System; Secondly, the tendency of the local police willing to gel involved with the Investigation Team, but in turn, obstruct the arresting process especially when they take the Mass Media with them, Thirdly, although it has been appointed a spokesperson within the investigation team, some police officers have the tendency to provide information to the mass media anonymously: Fourthly, although the cooperation with foreign agencies has been very beneficial, it has been interpreted as a form of intervention by Foreign Governments towards the sovereignty of Republic of Indonesia, particularly by some observers and politicians.


■■ Closing

Some points can be learned from the Bali bomb blast:

1. Terrorism has entered the 'borderless' era that prioritizes on an exclusive group interest by sacrificing humanitarian values.
2. Terrorism was conducted by people who believe in the righteousness of their group to be conducted in a wide range of networking. Therefore, reeducation is required to restore the perpetrators ration thinking.
3. To counter terrorist activities, a mutual cooperation to be need particularly among countries, otherwise they will become the target transnational terrorist activities.
4. The uncovering of the terrorism has to start from the attitude of investigators and experts of being obedient and discipline in following procedures in accordance to the Police Force professionalism supported by high-tech equipment and sufficient fund.
5. Counteracts on terrorist activities can not be resolved only by la enforcement based on Rules of Regulation No. l and No.2 / 200 since the terrorist network is very widespread, crossing over state borders and being militant in character An anti-terrorism law the should involve many parties is required, especially in reeducating terrorist members in order to re-normalize their ideology.
