Terrorist has regrets
The week's news at a glance.
Bali, Indonesia
Ali Imron, an Indonesian who has admitted building the bombs that killed more than 200 people in a Bali disco last year, said this week that he was both proud and sorry. At a press conference given from jail, Imron denied that his Jamaah Islamiyah militant group had ties to al Qaida, saying the group built its bombs and chose its targets alone. “Nobody backed or sponsored us,” he said. “Our ability is something to be proud of.” But he begged forgiveness from the families of the victims, most of whom were Australian tourists. “Our target is America and its allies, because they are the international terrorists,” he said.
