Bali Terrorist Bombing Oct 1 2005.
At least two bombs exploded almost simultaneously
Saturday in tourist areas of the Indonesian resort island of Bali,
killing at least 22 people and wounding about 50 others, officials said.
The blasts came a month after Indonesia's president warned of possible
terrorist attacks.
The bombs went off at about 7:30 p.m. at three restaurants packed
with foreign and Indonesian diners.
The blasts at seafood restaurants in Jimbaran beach and a
bustling outdoor shopping center in downtown Kuta were the work of
terrorists, Indonesian President Suslio Bambang Yudhoyono said.
The attacks occurred nearly three years to the day that bombings in Kuta
killed 202 people, mostly foreigners. Those attacks, and subsequent
deadly bombings in 2003 and 2004, were blamed on the al-Qaida-linked
terror group Jemaah Islamiyah.
The GCP prediction was for deviation of the network variance (squared Stouffer
Z) beginning an hour before the blast (18:30) and continuing until midnight in
Bali. This is 11:30 to 17:30 GMT. The results show Z = 1.727 and p =
0.042. The first figure displays the hypothesis test data, and following
it is the full GMT day's data for context. It appears that the strong
positive trend in the data
began early and continued during most of the day.
