No, it looked like Kilanj to me. Its like an early style Isuzu Trooper (kinda squared off at the corners).

I don't care much who did it. I'm just hoping most get back here ok. Bali is like a home away from home for Australians. Not anymore I guess, which REALLY sucks, because it is such a nice place. Kuta beach is home to large numbers of mostly Australians, Americans and Europeans. The Sari Nightclub is very popular with Westerners. Reports are that as much as 70% of the injured are Australian. Using that, as many as 130 Aussies may have died, which is a lot for a country of only 20 million. American fatalities could be as high as 50 I guess.
Clearly, this attack was directly aimed at the West. It was no doubt designed to polarise the more fundamental Islamic views, causing further unrest (note: Islam hates terrorism and killing in any form as much as any other orthodox religion. I am Athiest).
Further proof that this world is going to blow itself up hating each other. Humans are the strangest of creatures.

This really sucks. I was really saddened and angered when I heard the latest figures, 14 confirmed Aussie deaths, around 220 missing Aussies and over 100 injured.

Yeah, the missing is now about 180 Aussies with another 30 confirmed dead, most will have to be identified by DNA and dental records. Injuries are consistant with a war-like situation.Tens of locals and other foreigners also missing and dead.
I didn't think sadness could get worse than September 11th. But when it hits so close to home, affecting people in your community, you realise how deep it cuts.
Hopefully Indonesia tightens security now.
