 TIME Asia Magazine: The Rage Culture -- Oct. 28, 2002
A former dean at the University of Indonesia in Jakarta suggested that the Bali blasts were a "retaliatory action" by the U.S. to punish Indonesia for its opposition to war against Iraq, while another academic pointed to a sinister collaboration between the CIA, Israel's Mossad, and other foreign spies.
This conviction undoubtedly lends credence to the many far-fetched but widely believed conspiracy theories circulating in Indonesia today, including the notion that no Jews died in the World Trade Center attacks, and no Americans perished in the Bali bombings.
Even wilder opinions are circulating among the Indonesian public, including the theory that American citizens were warned about the explosions.
