Bali Memorial

On 12 October 2002, three terrorist attacks took place in the tourist district of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali. Bombings killed 202 people— 151 Westerners, 38 local Indonesians, 10 people from another 6 countries, and 3 unidentified victims—and injured a further 209, making it the deadliest terrorist act in Indonesia's history. Various members of Jemaah Islamiyah (also abbreviated JI), an Islamist group, were convicted in relation to the bombings, including three who were sentenced to death. The attack involved the detonation of three bombs: a bomb vest worn by a suicide bomber; a large car bomb, both of which were detonated in or near popular Kuta nightclubs; and a third, much smaller device detonated outside the United States consulate in Denpasar, causing only minor damage. On 9 November 2005, one of the top JI's bomb-makers, former Malaysian university lecturer Azahari Husin, was killed in a police raid on a house in Batu, East Java. Azahari was believed to be the technical mastermind behind the Bali bombings and several terrorist attacks in Indonesia during the early 2000s. On 9 November 2008, Amrozi bin Nurhasyim, Imam Samudra, and Mukhlas were executed by firing squad in the island prison of Nusakambangan. On 9 March 2010, Dulmatin, nicknamed "The Genius"—believed to have set off one of the Bali bombs with a mobile phone—was killed in a shootout with Indonesian
