Bali bombing survivor Tim Weatherald outraged as conspirators released from Guantanamo Bay to Malaysia

A Bali bombing survivor has unleashed his fury at two conspirators behind the 2022 terrorist attack after it emerged they were released from Guantanamo Bay and returned to Malaysia on Wednesday.

The attacks on the Sari nightclub and Paddy’s Pub in the Balinese party hub of Kuta on October 12, 2002 killed 202 people including 88 Australians.

Mohammed Farik bin Amin and Mohammed Nazir bin Lep, who acted as money couriers after the attacks to assist the terrorists who carried out the bombings, pleaded guilty to conspiracy and other offences.

The pair have been in US custody since 2003.

In January, a military jury sentenced them to 23 years in confinement, not counting time served. However, that has been reduced by five years in exchange for testimony against alleged bombing mastermind, Hambali.

It was recommended the men be repatriated or transferred to another country to serve out their sentence, which has now been confirmed by the US Department of Defence, the ABC reported.

It cited Malaysia’s Home Affairs Minister, Saifuddin Nasution Ismail who said the pair would be subject to a “comprehensive reintegration program specifically for the two individuals concerned, including support services, welfare and health screening”.

On Thursday, Adelaide-based survivor Tim Weatherald joined David Woiwod on Sunrise, where he expressed anger at the possibility the men may walk free.

“How did you feel when you heard this news overnight?” Woiwod asked.

“It is disappointing from my point of view that these guys can do these sorts of things and get away with it 20 years later. I would like to see them spend the rest of their lives in jail,” Weatherall said.

“You lost friends in this attack because of things that these two men actually did. Do they deserve to live a quiet life with family and pursue a new life and purpose?” Woiwod asked.

“The thing for me is they show no remorse. From my point of view, at least if they showed a bit of remorse, but they almost seem proud of what they have done.

“So, I have got no issue with them not ever seeing the light of day again, to be honest. I have seen first hand, the terror they brought.

“Twenty-two years later, it is still an awkward thing for me and my friends and family who were over there. We have to remember that. I don’t think they should get out.

Woiwod pressed Weatherall on whether their testimony was worth their freedom.

“I don’t think so. As I mentioned earlier, I think they should all be put away forever. Obviously, there is reason for this one — Hambali is higher up the chain and was one of the main mastermind behind it all.

“From a positive point of view, that means they can put him away ... I (still) don’t really understand to be honest.”

Despite the two decades that have passed since the attack, Weatherall said it was still vivid in his mind.

“I still remember it like it happened yesterday. There are times when you go to sleep at night when you see it and remember it all and every type something happens like this, it brings it all back again,” he said.

“It has been a massive part of my life. I was only a young kid when I was there celebrating a footy trip.”
