Al-Qaeda owns responsibility of Bali night club blast: CNN

The Al-Qaeda terrorist network has said that it carried out last month’s bombing on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, the CNN reported today.

The group led by Osama bin Laden said it had attacked ‘‘nightclubs and whorehouses in Indonesia’’ in a web site message translated by http://www.cnn.com.

CNN said that the web site has been used in the past by Al-Qaeda to claim responsibility for attacks, including the synagogue fire in Tunisia in which mainly German tourists died, and strikes on two ships in Yemen.

‘‘By attempting to strike a US plane in Saudi Arabia and by bombing a Jewish synagogue in Tunisia, destroying two ships in Yemen, attacking the Fialka base in Kuwait, and bombing nightclubs and whorehouses in Indonesia, Al-Qaeda has shown that it has no qualms about attacking inside Arab and Islamic lands,’’ the statement said.
