...Villain The chief suspect in the Bali bombing said he was "delighted" by the attack, according to Indonesia's police chief. General Da'i Bachtiar interrogated the laughing suspect, a 40-year-old car mechanic called Amrozi, in front of journalists - but behind glass doors. Amrozi admitted owning the van used to carry the bomb and to visiting a shop in the city of Surabaya to buy the chemicals used in the bomb. His brother, Ali Imron, is also implicated in the bombing. MEANWHILE Bach Pain If the compositions of Bach and Mozart send some listeners into raptures, they also...
...clearest reason for the Spartans’ renaissance is the addition of two Dutch players, sophomores Annebet Beerman and Judith van Haeringen. The former is the center forward who leads the Big Ten in scoring, while the latter is the center back who’s the No. 2 scorer on the team.

Amrozi was a self-taught auto mechanic and tinkerer who ran a workshop in his backyard; those skills would have been invaluable in assembling and transporting a bomb. He was also known to repair mobile phones; police believe such a handset may have been used to set off the bomb in Bali. He was a former hell-raiser...
...violations. The police do acknowledge that the attack in the town of Kuta in Bali was organized and executed on a regional scale. According to Aritonang, funding for the car bomb is believed to have originated from Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia in cash and electronic transfers. (Amrozi bought the van in East Java but paid in a combination of Malaysian ringgit and Singaporean dollars.) Police say at least five terrorist cells were involved in planning the attack, with members coming from four Southeast Asian nations: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines...
