An audio-cassette purportedly carrying a recorded voice message from Osama bin Laden stated that the Bali bombings were in direct retaliation for support of the United States' war on terror and Australia's role in the liberation of East Timor. This attack was claimed as the deadliest act of terrorism in the history of Indonesia according to the current police general, killing 202 people including 88 Australians, 38 Indonesian and 5 Swedish citizens and 240 people were injured.

After the Bali bombing, the US classified Indonesia as a frontline country in the global war on terror and provided funds and training to an elite counter-terrorism squad, Detachment 88, set up in the wake of those blasts. The results exceeded many expectations: The last major attack against foreigners was in 2009, and Jemaah Islamiyah, Al Qaeda's Southeast Asian offshoot responsible for the 2002 Bali bombing, has been crippled by a police crackdown and rifts within the organization. And all of the major suspects who participated in the 2002 Bali attack have been killed or imprisoned. Indeed, for the past 15 years, since strongman President Suharto stepped down, Indonesia has been a model of stability.
