Indonesia minister: 'al-Qaida is here'

Indonesia’s defence minister today blamed al-Qaida and its extremist allies for the massive bomb attack that killed more than 180 people at a nightclub on the resort island of Bali.

“We are sure al-Qaida is here,” Matori Abdul Djalil said after a Cabinet meeting in Jakarta. “The Bali bomb blast is linked to al-Qaida with the cooperation of local terrorists.”
