"Grisly key to blasts"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "INDONESIAN and Australian police are working to identify three decapitated heads believed to belong to suicide bombers who detonated the Bali explosives on Saturday.

Key Jemaah Islamiah bomb-makers Noordin Top and Azahari bin Husin, who built the 2002 Bali bombs and are accused of the JW Marriott Hotel and Australian embassy attacks, top the list of suspects believed responsible for the latest atrocity.

The two men, Malaysian nationals, have been elevated by Jemaah Islamiah members to almost Osama bin Laden status because of their evasion of authorities since 2002 and their seniority in JI.

"They suspect three suicide bombers but that's not confirmed," Australian Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty said yesterday.

"They have three heads they are examining, and that's a typical forensic outcome from a suicide bomber."

Decapitation is a common result of suicide vests exploding.

"The early indications are that they're very hopeful of being able to quickly identify the persons that have been used here as suicide bombers," Mr Keelty said.

Azahari, dubbed "Demolition Man" by Indonesian media, and Top are believed to be in Mindanao in the southern Philippines, and continue to train apprentice bomb-makers and JI recruits."
