BALI, Indonesia — Indonesia said Sunday it suspected two fugitives linked to Al Qaeda masterminded the homicide bombings of crowded restaurants in tourist areas of Bali that killed at least 26 people and injured more than 100.

The nation's president, meanwhile, warned that more terrorist attacks are possible.

"The terrorists are still looking for soft targets," President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (search) said at a press conference after touring the devastated areas on the Indonesian island.

He also said Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation, will do everything it can to prevent another strike.

The wounded included six Americans.

Has there ever been a more blood thirsty gang of criminals than Al Queda? It must come as quiet a shock for those expecting to go to Heaven, to actually wake up kissing Satan's rosy red ass.

When we get serious about killing these vermin, we will get a handle on the problem. Death is what they want and death is what they should get.

Why on earth would anyone blame Al Qaeda?

They are freedom fighters, worthy of our support!

We do have sensational beaches, but the weather is not always great to enjoy them. Personally, I'd prefer somewhere in North Queensland than Bali. Apparently Bali offers (offered?) better value for money...

"I certainly won't be rushing to sun myself there in a big hurry..."

Bali is special - different - compact - much to experience in a small area - just stay away from Kuda - get adopted by some village people - pack some heat - and blow away anyone with a hump under their shirt.

Glad I experienced Bali back in 66 - 70 and the rest of Indonesia then as well - really sweet people - and the nut cakes are really nuts - a small minority but really coo-koo. Amok is a Malay word given to us - Indos speak Malay - running amok originated there - out of control - there are those whos minds get so f*cked up with religous training - just snap - with the contrast of reality of daily living - poor souls just cant take it.
