Memorial

Seventeen years on, Bali observed the anniversary of the deadly terrorist bombing of 2002 in which 202 were killed and 209 injured. At a Saturday night prayer vigil for the victims, several people lost consciousness from the trauma of the memory. Two of the bombings on the night of October 12th occurred at two popular clubs in Kuta and a third near the American consulate. The bombings took the lives of 164 foreigners from 24 countries and 38 Indonesians. Fears were stoked this October by the arrest of suspected terrorists throughout Indonesian, including in Bali.
