Man admits to planting Bali bomb, claim police

INDONESIAN police said yesterday that a man they are interrogating has confessed to planting a bomb in an attack on Bali nightclub that killed nearly 200 people last month.

National Police Chief Da'i Bachtiar said the man, identified only as Amrozi, told police that he owned the minivan used in the car-bomb attack.

"Amrozi used the car to plant the bomb in Bali," Bachtiar said. "Amrozi admitted it and we are still chasing his friends."
