I reckon its just part of the indos chamapign to drive out all but their
own backsides from their surrounding islands to allow for their
expanding population . Not much rhyme or reason to it other than a
terror based land grab .

>>injured scores of people, was ``clearly an act of terrorism.''
>>
>>At least 19 people were killed and 51 injured, the Associated Press

>>at the Bali International Medical Center. Two Americans were also

>>There were as many as eight blasts, all close together, said

>>
>>``They are targeting indiscriminately,'' said the president at a media
>>briefing in Jakarta, adding he'll go to Bali tomorrow.
