Terrorism in Southeast Asia
Terrorism has been described variously as both a tactic and strategy; a crime and a holy duty. In Southeast Asia, Bali bombings occurred on the year 2002, 12 October. These attacks were the most fatal terrorism in the history of Indonesia which injured 240 people and killed 202 people (including 88 Australians and 38 of the Indonesian citizens)
Members of the Islamist group were convicted to have started the bombing attack and three of the members were sentenced to death.
In this Mitsubishi L300 van, the Islamist group planted a car bomb in it. This van was also controlled by remote control in case the second bomber had a sudden change of heart. The car bomb destroyed neighboring buildings and shattered windows several blocks away and it also left a one meter deep crater.
After the attack, many memorials were built in many countries. For example, a permanent memorial was built on the site of the destroyed Paddy's Pub on Legian Street in Bali. The memorial was dedicated on 12 October 2004, the second anniversary of the attack.Lastly, I feel that people around the world must be alert and be prepared for sudden attacks from terrorist group.
