...police investigating the bomb blasts that tore the heart out of Bali's Kuta tourist district on Oct. 12, killing around 200 and injuring hundreds more, believe Rimbawa may hold the key to identifying at least one of the killers responsible. Rimbawa was a sweeper in Paddy's Irish Pub, and witnesses say he was standing near a 1-kilogram TNT bomb that detonated on a table inside the popular bar. That explosion sent scores of frantic patrons rushing out?into the range of a far more deadly bomb packed inside a white Mitsubishi minivan parked outside the Sari Club...
...Rimbawa saw who placed the explosives inside his pub that night, he isn't telling. The bomb has made sure of that.

Sari Club, says a local, was one of the more exclusive: it only admitted Westerners; locals weren...
...hours from Sydney to a town in the middle of the Australian outback incidentally made famous as the location where the drag-queen epic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert was filmed. Staying at the only available “hotel” (a run-down pub known affectionately to the bushie locals as “Mario’s Palace”) and working in 100-degree temperatures in a dust bowl, the stylist still managed to look as calm, collected and—most impressively—clean as she had back at air-conditioned...
