Bombers in Bali attempt to detonate bombs in three different places. The first, a suicide bomb, is detonated in a small nightclub across the road from another nightclub, the Sari Club. A second bomb, a truck filled with explosives parked outside the Sari Club explodes 15 seconds after the first. Less than a minute later, a third bomb detonates outside the United States Consulate. The total death toll is 202.

00:00October 2002. Hundreds of young tourists enjoy a tropical island resort.
00:06Then, massive explosions rip through the packed nightclubs.
00:11The bombings claim 202 lives.
00:14It's the worst act of terror since 9-11.
00:19Now, using advanced computer simulation,
00:22we reveal exactly what happened in the Bali bombings.
00:28Behind every disaster lies a chain of critical events
00:31that decides who lives and who dies.
00:35Unravel the fateful moments in those final seconds from disaster.
00:49South-East Asia, Indonesia, the island of Bali.
01:00Bali's tropical breezes blow in vacationers from all over the world.
01:05The warm Balinese welcome is legendary.
01:09It's the number one holiday destination for Australians.
01:13Reached by a three-hour hop across the Indian Ocean from the west coast.
01:21October 12th, 2002.
01:24Another perfect day dawns in this tropical paradise.
01:29October is one of Bali's busiest months,
01:31and most tourists head for its biggest resort, Coota Beach.
01:38Three generations of the Kemp family arrived from Perth, Australia.
01:4431-year-old Tracy Ball saved all year for this break,
01:48and she's delighted to have her younger sister, Melinda, along.
01:53Tracy's daughter, five-year-old Brianna, brims with excitement.
01:57It's her first overseas trip.
02:01And Grandma and Grandpa Kemp will be close by in the apartment next door.
02:09The family deserves this special vacation.
02:13Four years ago, Tracy's husband, Peter, a police officer, was killed on duty.
02:20The tragedy left Tracy a little anxious about being away from home.
02:24It was always in the back of my mind that you just always have to be careful,
02:28no matter what you do, wherever you go.
02:30And especially going to a different country,
02:31you don't know exactly, you know, what's going to happen.
02:38Indonesia has the world's largest Muslim population,
02:41with 210 million followers.
02:44But on the island of Bali, Hindus outnumber Muslims by almost 20 to one.
02:50The two faiths have lived in harmony for centuries.
02:56Abdulaziz, alias Samudra, performs his ritual cleansing for the first call to prayer.
03:02He's a devout Muslim, but his motives are far from the non-violent teachings of the Islamic faith.
03:08He's a homegrown Indonesian terrorist, in Bali, to command a group of fanatics intent on causing death and destruction.
03:1912 o'clock, midday.
03:22Perth, Australia.
03:2320 young men from a local football team head out to Bali.
03:30This is footage of their trip.
03:3425-year-old Ben Clohessi and his teammates are looking forward to two weeks of sun, sea and socialising.
03:41A hundred different libidos, basically all pumped, ready to go.
03:46As Ben and his friends arrive at Bali's International Airport...
03:52At a rented house 11 kilometres away, terrorist mastermind Samudra calls a strategy meeting.
03:59The five men present are part of an Islamic terrorist network extending across Southeast Asia.
04:06It's called Jamar Islamiyya, or J-I.
04:11And hundreds of its members have been trained by Al-Qaeda.
04:18In 2001, Al-Qaeda moved several of its training camps from Afghanistan to secret locations across Indonesia.
04:27Their academy of terror produced a new generation of Indonesian recruits.
04:33They've been linked to a series of bombings and attacks in the region, killing dozens of people.
04:447.30pm.
04:46Saturday night.
04:48And sisters Tracey and Melinda are looking forward to an evening of fun.
04:52Their parents volunteer to look after Brianna.
04:57When Tracey's husband died, Melinda immediately moved in with her to help raise the little girl.
05:02The sisters are inseparable.
05:05We did become best friends, which was awesome.
05:07She became very much someone that I depended on nearly every day.
05:12As little Brianna sleeps, Samudra's terrorists prepare their deadly weapons.
05:20Tonight, they'll bring Al-Qaeda's global jihad to Western tourists in Bali.
05:28They plan a symbolic explosion outside the U.S. consulate, northeast of Kuta Beach.
05:33But their main bombing targets are two popular night spots.
05:37Paddy's Bar and the Sari Club on Legian Street.
05:42They load a white Mitsubishi van with one ton of explosives.
05:509.30pm.
05:51As the sun goes down, Kuta Beach lights up with neon as the club scene comes to light.
05:58At the heart of the action is the resort's buzzing central strip, Legian Street.
06:03It's where sisters Melinda and Tracey are heading for their girls' night out.
06:11But it's the terrorists' destination too.
06:15Three of them drive the explosive-packed van south towards Kuta Beach.
06:24Melinda and Tracey arrive at one of Legian Street's most popular hotspots, the Sari Club.
06:32It's already hopping.
06:35Nearly 350 young men and women, mostly Australians, cram inside.
06:4410.52pm.
06:47The terrorists leave the northern suburbs and enter Kuta Beach Resort.
06:54They have to drive slowly.
06:56The van is weighed down with its deadly cargo.
07:01The Australian footballers roll up at the Sari Club.
07:0525-year-old Ben Clohessi is ready for his first taste of Bali's nightlife.
07:11They park themselves at the bar and start drinking.
07:1611.01pm.
07:18The terrorist's white van reaches Legian Street.
07:24The three men each have an assigned task.
07:28One of the men jumps on the back of a motorbike.
07:30His mission, to detonate the bomb outside the U.S. Consulate.
07:38Inside the Sari Club, Tracey and Melinda have had a great night, but Tracey is anxious to get back to
07:43daughter Brianna.
07:46I kept saying, we really need to get going, because I had said we wouldn't be out too late.
07:53Now, the explosive packed van stops right outside the Sari Club.
07:58A second terrorist jumps out and heads for his target, Paddy's bar.
08:04He makes his way inside through the crowd of Western tourists.
08:14Across the road in the Sari Club, Melinda persuades Tracey to stay for one more song.
08:24Outside, the van is creating a traffic jam along the one-way street, but the driver isn't going anywhere.
08:35Then, suddenly, a terrifying explosion rips through Legian Street.
08:45Inside the Sari Club, nobody is hurt.
08:48Some people even think the noise is some sort of celebration.
08:52I just thought it was a bit of fireworks.
08:54How happy we all were and excited that we were.
08:56You never thought anything bad could happen.
08:59But sisters Tracey and Melinda are in an open-air part of the club.
09:04They can see a column of smoke rising from Paddy's bar across the street.
09:10Dozens of people spill out of the club onto Legian Street to see what's going on.
09:16It brings them even closer to the explosive-filled van still parked in the street outside.
09:32People partying in the Sari Club in Bali's Kuta Beach resort hear a huge bang outside.
09:42Many of them flock onto Legian Street to see what's happened.
09:53It brings them within meters of the terrorist's explosive-packed white Mitsubishi van.
10:0115 seconds after the first blast.
10:08A second, colossal explosion rips through Legian Street.
10:13It kills dozens outside and inside the Sari Club instantly.
10:18Within seconds, a raging inferno traps hundreds.
10:23Flames also engulf victims trapped in vehicles caught in the traffic jam.
10:30Home video footage captures the chaos as frantic bystanders run to escape.
10:37Exploding fuel tanks add to the panic.
10:46Inside the club, the party atmosphere is transformed into a scene of carnage and devastation.
10:53Survivors desperately search for a way out of the flames and choking smoke.
11:0531-year-old widowed mother Tracy Ball is buried under a stack of rubble.
11:12She feels people walking over her as they rush to escape the inferno.
11:18Desperately, Tracy digs herself out of the debris.
11:22But there's no sign of her younger sister, Melinda.
11:26She was nowhere to be seen and there was just fire and screaming from all directions.
11:33So at the same time, I'm screaming,
11:35I have to find you, I can't find you.
11:37Melinda!
11:45Footballer Ben Clohesi finds he can't move.
11:50Heavy timber beams and debris pin him to the ground.
11:54Flames race through the thatched roof above.
11:58He thinks it's about to collapse on top of him.
12:04Ben drags himself out from under the rubble.
12:08And starts to search for his teammates amidst the carnage.
12:12The first thing that was going through my head was I've got to find the boys.
12:15I was looking around, trying to find any sign of life.
12:18Ben can't find them.
12:20But instead of trying to escape the blaze,
12:23he starts to help other people.
12:37Outside, it looks like a war zone.
12:41Fierce fires spread through Lakey Ann Street.
12:45Buildings are ablaze over an area 120 meters wide.
12:49Burned and maimed survivors lurch out of the devastated buildings.
12:55Many local people rush to help survivors.
12:59One of the first on the scene is Kuta Beach traffic chief, Agus Bambang.
13:08I saw dozens of victims exiting and running outside of the club, away from the engulfing flames.
13:15Some were shouting, saying, it's so hot, it's so hot.
13:18Please, help us get to a hospital quickly.
13:24Bambang orchestrates rescue efforts to help the victims.
13:27Among those killed and injured in the blast, dozens of his fellow Balinese.
13:35There were not only foreign tourists, but also local people from Denpasar,
13:40who came to Kuta for the weekend.
13:45Inside the Sari Club, footballer Ben Klohesi is also helping the injured.
13:51He leads two survivors to the only area of the blazing club that looks free of flames.
13:59But he finds that a four and a half meter high wall blocks their path.
14:09He summons all his strength and starts to heave people to safety.
14:16It's amazing what a human body can do in time of need.
14:27While survivors head for the only part of the club not in flames,
14:3131-year-old widowed mother, Tracy, is still desperately searching for her missing sister, Melinda.
14:40As flames rain down from the burning roof, Tracy thinks of her five-year-old daughter, Brianna,
14:45and realises she must make a terrible choice.
14:49Does she continue to search for her sister and best friend, Melinda,
14:53or escape while she still can?
14:56What if I get out and she's here waiting for me to find her,
15:00and she burns to death?
15:01How do I tell Mum and Dad that I left her behind?
15:05But then I thought, what will Mum and Dad tell Brianna when I don't come back?
15:15She makes her decision.
15:18Tracy heads for the club's south side.
15:22A wall has been shattered by the blast, but it's still two meters high.
15:31Thinking fast, she finds a beam to use as a makeshift ladder
15:35and clambers to the top of the two-meter-high wall.
15:39She escapes the blaze just as it engulfs the area behind her.
15:52Tracy makes it as far as the curb outside the club.
15:59All around her, rescuers struggle to help people amid the chaos.
16:08Then, emerging out of the mayhem of Leggianne Street,
16:12Tracy's father appears.
16:15He heard the blast from the apartment
16:17and raced to the club to look for his daughters.
16:21My dad came in that instant and found me and said,
16:25Tracy, oh my God, where's Melinda?
16:28Her father's unexpected appearance gives Tracy new hope.
16:32Perhaps he can find Melinda.
16:38But many people are still inside the burning sari club.
16:43One of them is footballer Ben Clohesi.
16:48He's heaved countless people up the north wall to waiting hands and safety.
16:56Ben doesn't know whether all his teammates made it out.
17:01But the heat is now unbearable.
17:03He has to go.
17:06But there's no one left to help him.
17:08He must get over the four-and-a-half-meter-high wall on his own.
17:12Because the fire was coming that quickly,
17:14you know that if you miss it, you're gone.
17:19It's Ben's only hope.
17:20He summons all his strength and jumps.
17:25Somehow, Ben reaches the top and scrambles over.
17:4031-year-old widowed mother Tracy waits for her father to return with word of Sister Melinda.
17:46After five minutes, her dad comes back.
17:50But it's bad news.
17:55I wasn't prepared for him to not come back with her.
17:59I was expecting him to come back, you know, have, you know, her hand in his hand and saying,
18:04here's Tracy, see, everything's okay.
18:11One a.m., nearly two hours since the blast.
18:15The disaster overwhelms the emergency services.
18:18Over 300 injured survivors must make their way to local hospitals and clinics any way they can.
18:24In cars, vans, even on the back of motorcycles.
18:33Tracy ends up in a tiny local hospital.
18:36She's suffered third-degree burns, mostly to her back.
18:39She's alive, but needs urgent surgery.
18:43Despite staying in the blazing club to help people, Ben Clohessi escapes with only minor burns.
18:50Hundreds of people are missing.
18:53Among them, Tracy's 25-year-old sister, Melinda.
19:00Her distraught father, Ron Kemp, scours every clinic and hospital in Coota Beach.
19:06She's dead.
19:06She's dead.
19:06She's dead.
19:12But he's losing hope.
19:20By 3 a.m., ambulances arrive with the last of the survivors.
19:27But he still has no news of his daughter, Melinda.
19:35Many of those listed as missing are now confirmed dead.
19:45The search takes him to a small private hospital.
19:53There, he finds Melinda.
19:57She's alive.
20:00The blast knocked her out, and she has no idea how she escaped the club.
20:06Miraculously, she only has minor injuries.
20:125 a.m., as Tracy is wheeled out of surgery, the sisters are finally reunited.
20:21He looks over to me, and she's just in tears.
20:24She's like, oh, my God, you're okay, kind of thing, you know.
20:27It's not really words said, just looks.
20:30Even now, it makes me cry, because I could then relax and realise that everything was going to be okay.
20:41The next day, Tracy's five-year-old daughter, Brianna, insists on visiting her mother and aunt in hospital.
20:48She was so brave and crying, but at the same time saying,
20:54Mummy, I love you, and even though you're burnt, I still think you're beautiful.
20:58And that was the first thing she said to me.
21:10Over the next three days, Indonesian rescuers continue to pull bodies from the rubble.
21:17The death count eventually reaches 202.
21:21Victims come from 22 different countries.
21:24But Australia is hit hardest of all, with 88 dead.
21:32Three days later, Ben Clohesi and his surviving teammates return to Perth, Australia.
21:40Of the 20 young men who flew out, only 13 are going home alive.
21:47The remains of the other seven will be returned to their families.
21:56News of the disaster shocks the world.
21:59Mysterious, deadly bombings tonight in Indonesia.
22:02At least 50 people have been killed tonight, many of them tourists.
22:05The largest number of foreigners killed and injured in the Bali attacks were Australia.
22:10It's been just 13 months since 9-11.
22:13Many suspect that this is the work of Al-Qaeda.
22:18But why is the peaceful island of Bali a target?
22:24Investigators must sift through the debris to discover who are the killers that brought hell to this heaven on earth.
22:33Now, by rewinding the events of that fateful day, and by going deep into the investigation, we can reveal what
22:39really happened that night in Bali.
22:43Advanced computer simulation will take us, where no camera can go, into the heart of the disaster zone.
22:52A new day reveals the extent of the devastation.
22:57The damage zone stretches across 28 hectares.
23:03The Indonesian National Police appoints General Emade Pastika as its chief investigator.
23:10But Pastika knows that he has neither the manpower nor the forensic experience to investigate a disaster on this scale.
23:18We understand and realize now that our technology is very far left behind.
23:27Pastika turns to the Australian Federal Police, or AFP, in Canberra for help.
23:36The force puts forward AFP veteran Graham Ashton as joint investigator.
23:43Within 24 hours, Ashton and his team of 140 experts head for Bali.
23:50Senior forensic chemist David Royds flies out with the team.
23:55Also on board the plane are several people desperate for news of their loved ones.
24:02You know, you're full of anticipation, you're nervous, you're excited, and you're with a team, and you really feel fired
24:09up.
24:09And suddenly you realize that at the front of the plane there was two or three other people.
24:14And they were actually relatives going over to search for their children.
24:21It was a really emotional experience.
24:29As the Indonesian and Australian teams swing into action, they have no clues as to who caused the explosions.
24:38But detectives based at Bali's police HQ soon get their first lead.
24:42A report from the U.S. Consulate, 11 kilometers northeast of Legian Street.
24:50The consul claims he heard firecrackers going off less than a minute after the Legian Street blast.
24:58But what the forensic team find in front of the building tells a more sinister story.
25:03A wrecked stretch of curve and the remains of a mobile phone.
25:09Both test positive for the high explosive TNT.
25:15The evidence suggests a small device remotely detonated by phone.
25:22Western consulates and embassies are a favored target of terrorists.
25:28Investigators believe that this has all the hallmarks of a deliberate terrorist attack.
25:33Its aim, not to kill, but to tell the world that the explosions in Bali's nightclubs are a new front
25:40in the terror war against the West.
25:46Eyewitness reports revealed that as well as the U.S. Consulate bomb, there were two explosions in Legian Street.
25:53A smaller one inside a night spot called Paddy's Bar.
25:59And one outside the Sari Club.
26:09The investigation team start to comb the 28 hectare blast zone for evidence that might lead to the killers.
26:18It's a monumental task.
26:21Even the tiniest piece of debris might provide the crucial lead.
26:27It could take months.
26:30And after just two weeks, there's a major setback.
26:37Local officials are in a tough spot.
26:39They're under pressure from Kuta Beach's predominantly Hindu residents to clear the blast site.
26:45These local Hindus believe that the ghosts of blast victims haunt the area.
26:52They want to hold a ceremony to purify the site and release the troubled spirits of the dead.
26:59But it means scooping up all the rubble and casting it into the sea.
27:04The officials tell the Australian and Indonesian investigators their time is up.
27:10The bulldozers are wanting to clean the street up.
27:13And so if you want to get any more samples, you've got, you know, two hours.
27:17Clearing the blast zone will destroy crucial evidence.
27:22If the investigators can't stop the bulldozers, the murderers of 202 innocent holiday makers and Balinese might never be caught.
27:32Behind the scenes, Indonesian and Australian investigators alike negotiate for more time.
27:40They argue that Bali's biggest industry, tourism, is at stake.
27:45Catching the people is as important as clearing this crime scene because if we don't catch them, tourists won't come
27:51back.
27:52After a day of argument, they finally strike a deal.
27:56The investigators get just two more weeks to scour the site for clues.
28:01After that, the bulldozers will be back.
28:04It's an enormous task.
28:06The 28-hectare blast zone is strewn with tons of debris.
28:11Now the team have just 14 days to complete a task that would normally take months.
28:18Meanwhile, detectives interview hundreds of eyewitnesses.
28:21Many claim they saw a white Mitsubishi van parked outside the Sari Club just before the explosion.
28:27It drew attention because it caused a huge traffic jam along the one-way Legian street.
28:34There's now a 60-centimeter deep crater where the van once stood.
28:39And it's at the epicenter of the blast zone.
28:46It's clear to investigators that a bomb inside the van destroyed the Sari Club.
28:57But who owned the van?
29:02To find out, investigators need to locate the remains of the van itself.
29:07It won't be easy.
29:09The van would have been blown to bits in the blast.
29:13And the explosions destroyed 19 vehicles and 32 motorbikes on Legian street.
29:20Forensic experts must examine thousands of twisted remains piece by piece.
29:35Then, after four days of searching, a team member makes a remarkable discovery.
29:43Across the street from the Sari Club is a two-story bank.
29:47On its roof, he finds a piece of chassis one and a half meters long.
29:54By analyzing the impact damage, the experts can work out how far it was from the explosion.
30:00The tests prove the piece of chassis is from the white van.
30:07The scientists scour every centimeter of it.
30:11And find something stamped into the metal.
30:16It could be the van's registration number, a crucial lead to its owner.
30:23But it's completely illegible.
30:27The terrorists filed down the number so that it couldn't be traced.
30:35The team's first big find ends in disappointment.
30:39We were thinking, what would have been a great head start if they'd been stupid enough to leave the engine
30:44numbers on the chassis blocks.
30:46So we thought, ah, well, they're not that stupid then.
30:50Ah, well, we're back to the hard slog again.
30:53But the joint Indonesian and Australian team refuse to give up.
30:57They try a different tag.
30:59If they can discover what the bomb was made of,
31:02they may be able to trace people who bought large quantities of the relevant chemicals.
31:07They focus on the chemical fingerprints of the crime scene.
31:14But there's a problem.
31:16The explosions severed water mains so that any chemical residue was washed away down gutters and drains.
31:23Then firemen doused the area with high pressure hoses.
31:28Investigators can't find any trace of suspicious chemicals.
31:32Then one of the team has a bright idea.
31:35Where else can we look creatively to try and find these samples?
31:39So, ah, one of the guys really cleverly just looked up.
31:44The blast could have blown chemicals hundreds of meters from the scene,
31:48leaving traces way above ground level.
31:52It may be their only hope of a lead on the bomb's makeup.
31:56The team races to swab the leaves of trees, signposts, even telephone lines within 60 meters of the explosion.
32:04The forensic team painstakingly tests hundreds of samples.
32:09We were analyzing as much as we could, as fast as we could, and we were getting negative results, negative
32:15results, negative results.
32:16The heat is on.
32:18In just 14 days, the bulldozers will clear the site into the ocean.
32:22The team tests over 2,000 samples.
32:26Then, finally, their persistence pays off.
32:31A leaf from a tree inside the zone supplies a crucial clue.
32:36It tests positive for potassium chlorate.
32:40It's a commercially available chemical found in industrial cleaning material.
32:45And it's a classic ingredient of a typical homemade terrorist bomb.
32:53The team now knows what caused the blast that demolished the Sari Club.
32:58The terrorists detonated a bomb made of homemade explosive.
33:03Packed into the rear of a Mitsubishi L300 van.
33:12It's a promising lead.
33:14Detectives on the team start to track the purchase and delivery parts of large quantities of potassium chlorate.
33:22The hunt is on.
33:27Time is running out.
33:30At the blast zone, the forensic team need more evidence before the bulldozers return.
33:36And they've only scratched the surface.
33:41They must still find out what happened inside Paddy's bar where 20 people died.
33:48Eyewitnesses report a separate, smaller explosion here, seconds before the Sari Club blast.
33:55The forensic team works day and night to search through the mountain of debris in the ruin club.
34:01Then, Chief Forensic Scientist David Royds spots something.
34:07My eyes fell upon this little bit of copper wire that was no more than five centimetres long.
34:12Just jumped out at me like that was like pure gold.
34:17Royds suspects that it could be part of a bomb planted by terrorists inside Paddy's bar.
34:23He runs tests on it and finds traces of the high explosive TNT.
34:30He concludes that it is a piece of bomb detonating wire.
34:37To find the epicentre of the blast, Royds devises an ingenious experiment.
34:44Tracing back from the explosion's impact points, he creates a spider web of string.
34:49Where the strings intersect reveals the exact place where the bomb went off.
34:55It's one metre off the ground.
34:58It raises a disturbing possibility.
35:04So at this stage, we started to think that this could well be a suicide bomber.
35:11On the ceiling, directly above the blast epicentre, Royds finds a cluster of human tissue.
35:19He takes a batch of samples and conducts DNA tests.
35:26The DNA all belongs to one person.
35:30The team also finds fragments of fabric radiating out around the epicentre.
35:36They're an exact match for fibres found on the detonating wire.
35:44It's a huge breakthrough for the forensic team.
35:50They now know exactly what killed 20 innocent people inside Paddy's bar.
35:5911.07pm.
36:01A suicide bomber walks into Paddy's bar wearing a vest lined with TNT.
36:07When he reaches the packed dance floor, he hits the detonator.
36:19It's the first suicide bombing in Southeast Asia since the Vietnam War.
36:29Investigators now know exactly what caused the three explosions on the night of October the 12th.
36:34But they're no closer to catching the bombers.
36:39Detectives have been unable to trace any bulk purchases of potassium chlorate.
36:46And there are no further leads on who owned the bomb van.
36:50The hunt for the bombers stalks.
36:54With the terrorists still at large,
36:57people across Southeast Asia must face the prospect of further attacks.
37:06But Chief Indonesian Investigator General E. Maid Pastika refuses to admit defeat.
37:13Six days before the investigators deadline,
37:16Pastika orders his team to re-examine the 1.5-metre section of chassis from the exploded van.
37:23The terrorists covered their tracks by filing down the vehicle's registration number.
37:28But he hopes that perhaps some other clue was missed.
37:36Then Pastika, a devout Hindu, goes to a temple to pray for a breakthrough.
37:45During his devotions, he gets a call.
37:50It's one of his deputies.
37:53You imagine him sitting there praying and his cell phone goes off.
37:56General, where are you? Are you not in the office?
37:58And he said, no, I'm praying for the success of the investigation.
38:00And he said, oh, you must be hitting the right note then, General,
38:04because I've just found a number on the chassis rails.
38:08When the team re-examined the piece of chassis recovered from the bomb van,
38:12they found a piece of metal four centimeters long welded onto it.
38:17When they remove it, they discover the vehicle identification number.
38:27The terrorists picked the wrong country to buy their bomb vehicle.
38:31They filed off the two usual identifying numbers,
38:34but obviously didn't realize that commercial vehicles in Indonesia
38:37have a third number stamped on the chassis.
38:42One of the van's previous owners welded a support strut to the chassis that covered it up.
38:48The terrorists didn't even know it was there.
38:52It's an astonishing breakthrough.
38:57Investigators searched through vehicle records.
39:00They quickly tracked down all seven previous owners of the van,
39:06including the last person to buy it.
39:12His name is Amrozi.
39:15He's already known to authorities as a member of Jemaah Islamiyah,
39:18a terrorist network linked to Al-Qaeda.
39:26Amrozi is still at the address on the island of Java where the van is registered.
39:33On November 5th, 2002, Indonesian police arrest him.
39:40Amrozi confesses and reveals what he felt when he first learnt of the deaths and devastation the bombs inflicted.
39:48I was very happy. How can I describe it?
39:51It was like when I was still a bachelor trying for a girl and you finally get to meet her.
39:56It was that sort of excitement.
39:58But this was even better.
40:04Within weeks, police arrest several of Amrozi's accomplices.
40:08Among them, Samudra, the mastermind behind the plot.
40:15The men confessed to the cold-blooded murder of 202 innocent people.
40:23The arrests are a triumph for the joint investigation.
40:27But disturbing questions need to be answered.
40:31Did Western intelligence agencies know that a major attack by Amrozi's group was imminent?
40:37And did governments warn tourists in Bali that they were a target for terrorist attack?
40:47A joint Australian and Indonesian investigation leads to the arrest of several of the Bali bombers.
40:56Thirty-four Jamal Islamiyah terrorists are tried and found guilty.
41:01Three are sentenced to death.
41:03The rest receive prison sentences.
41:09Their confessions allowed the investigation team to put together the missing pieces of the puzzle.
41:15It reveals what really happened on the night of the Bali bombings.
41:19Why terror came to paradise and left holidaymakers and local people seconds from disaster.
41:28December 2001.
41:30A J.I. plot to bomb the U.S. Embassy in Singapore is foiled by police.
41:35A month later, the group changes its strategy of targeting Western embassies.
41:41Now its followers will attack soft targets, bars and clubs frequented by Western tourists.
41:51Eight months on, in Bali, chief plotter Samudra scouts for targets on Legian Street.
42:01He chooses two of the most crowded tourist hangouts, the Sari Club and Paddy's Bar.
42:12October 6th, six days to disaster.
42:16In the rented house in Denpasar, the J.I. terrorists start making the Sari Club bomb.
42:23They pack the suicide bomber vest with one kilogram of TNT,
42:27and make the device intended for the U.S. consulate.
42:35Two hours to disaster.
42:39The terrorists have loaded the Mitsubishi van.
42:44It now contains one ton of potassium-chloric mixture, packed into twelve filing cabinets, connected by detonating core.
42:57Three minutes to disaster.
42:59Thirty meters from the Sari Club, Ali Imran gets out of the van.
43:06One minute to disaster.
43:08The first suicide bomber, a young Indonesian known as Ferry, walks into Paddy's Bar.
43:15When he reaches the packed dance floor, he hits the detonator.
43:26Just fifteen seconds later, a second suicide bomber, 24-year-old Arneson, hits the switch on the van bomb.
43:50Forty seconds later, the terrorists use a phone to detonate the device,
43:56planted some three hours earlier outside the U.S. consulate.
44:00It announces to the world that the Bali bombings are an attack on America and its allies.
44:10Australian tourists, Melinda and Tracey, were lucky to survive.
44:15But back home in Perth, they wonder how the unconscious Melinda escaped the blazing Sari Club.
44:23I thought, well, my fingernails are in perfect condition.
44:27I don't have any burns or lacerations or anything to my feet.
44:31I wondered, how did I get out?
44:35The question spreads through Perth, Australia.
44:38Who saved the girl in the pink dress?
44:41Word reaches 25-year-old footballer Ben Clohesi.
44:45He recalls helping an unconscious blonde girl over the wall and realises it was Melinda.
44:52He visits Melinda to tell her the story.
44:55Meeting Ben was just like meeting, you know, a saint.
45:00He had saved my life, you know.
45:02And it's so hard to describe, you know.
45:06How do you feel when you meet someone that saved your life?
45:11Many others owe their lives to the brave actions of traffic chief Agus Bambang.
45:16As a Muslim, he cannot understand how the terrorists could claim to act in the name of Islam.
45:25Several Western governments, including Australia,
45:28admitted to receiving intelligence before the bombings
45:31that J.I. was planning to attack Westerners in Southeast Asia.
45:36The U.S. and Australia issued warnings to its tourists to be cautious when travelling around the world.
45:43But Australians who lost loved ones want to know why they weren't warned of the specific danger of travel to
45:49Indonesia.
45:53An Australian Senate inquiry finds that the government should have warned its travellers
45:58that they might now be actively targeted.
46:0830 days after the bombings, investigators keep their promise to hand over the crime scene to the Hindu community.
46:16The ocean waves receive the spirits of the dead.
46:24The investigation of the Bali bombings accelerated intelligence gathering on Jamar Islamiyah by an estimated three years.
46:33The U.S., Japan and Australia now work together to help Southeast Asian countries monitor and combat the continuing threats
46:41of terror in the region.
46:45The U.S., Japan and the U.S., are stepping-up to Asia.
46:53The U.S. is also creating to suffer from the flu season during particularly lowly testing.
46:56The U.S. has been very Cloollo sincebracht Britain.
46:57The U.S. has become an anthropologist by the international negotiation.
46:59As I said before the Bloodward 부서, the Sea for Dr. Regomona Retreats are staying and fique.
46:59The U.S. has become an October find, and our global marketing transformers areBenny.
