Bin Laden cash may have been used for Bali blasts

A MILITANT Indonesian Muslim who has confessed to involvement in October’s bombings on Bali island said there was a “strong possibility” money from Osama bin Laden was used for the attacks, Time Magazine has reported.

Indonesian police have previously insisted and reiterated again yesterday that they had not found any evidence linking bin Laden or his al-Qaida network to the Bali attack, which killed at least 193 people, most of them foreign tourists.

But in its latest edition, Time said it had seen confessions made to police by two of the key Indonesian men behind the attacks, Mukhlas and Iman Samudra. Police have publicly said both had admitted roles in the blasts.
