Huda Bin Abdul Haq - 2002 Bali Bombing

2002 Bali Bombing

Muklas himself admitted to being present and in command at the planning meetings for the Bali bombings, and recruited two of his brothers to help assemble and transport the bombs used in the Bali attacks. A sum of money, amounting to approximately US $35,000 was contributed to the Bali bombings by Wan Min Wan Mat, a leader of the JI network in Malaysia. This money was transferred through Hambali, Jemaah Islamiah's head of operations. The money was provided in cash, specifically in US dollars, and according to claims by Muklas, the money was not just used for the bombings in Bali, but also in other attacks in Indonesia.

After acquiring the al Qaeda funds, Muklas recruited two of his brothers to handle the logistics of the bomb plot. Younger brother Amrozi, who is also situated on "death row" for his conviction in the attack, personally selected the Mitsubishi van that was to be used outside the Sari Club. Amrozi also assembled the car bomb, and backpack bomb used at Paddy's Pub, in an empty warehouse in Denpasar, Bali's capital city.
