Bali bomber planned 2nd attack online

Convicted bomber, Imam Samudra, used a laptop computer and wi-fi connection to chat online, while in Kerobokan jail. The laptop was smuggled to him by a IT lecturer who shares Samudra’s beliefs that killing foreigners is a route to salvation.


According to GulfNews, a prison warden helped get the computer inside the prisom allowing Samudra to chat online in Islamis chat rooms, such as CafeIslam, and plan the funding of the 2005 Kuta / Jimbaran bombs.

For opponents of the death penalty, I think this gives one clear reason why it exists. To stop people like Samudra, continuing to murder people.
