Bali bombing suspect admits earlier attacks

An Islamic militant accused of last year’s Bali bombing told a court today that he bought bomb-making materials and built explosives for three other blasts including one at the Philippines ambassador’s residence.

Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, who has been charged with planning the October 12 bomb attacks which killed 202 people, including around 30 Britons, admitted that his terrorist activities go back to 2000, when he bought materials used in a Christmas Eve church bombing – which injured two people – and the ambassador’s residence.
