Sadness in Bali.

Memorial to remember the victims who perished during the attack.

The nightmare happened on 12th of October 2002 in the tourist district of Kuta on the Indonesian island of Bali. Various members of the Jemaah Islamiyah detonated three bombs , a backpack-mounted device carried by a suicide bomber , a large car bomb and a small bomb outside the Embassy of the United States. They bombed the top two most popular night clubs in the region , Paddy's Pub and Sari's Club. 202 people perished , mainly Australians , Indonesians and British and a further 209 people got injured. This tragedy along with other major attacks or disaster like 911 , showed us that we cannot take our lives for granted. Anything can happen in a split second and you may not know what will happen next. It is also a wake up call for us to be responsible for our own security and for the other countries to increase security measures because there are violent groups of people , like JI and not to mention , al-Qaeda that want to cause death among us. This is a terrible tragedy on the peaceful and lovely island of Bali and i wish someday , there will be peace in our world , no fighting among ourselves , no civil war , no corruption , no starvation and no hatred towards each other. ~
