WANASABA, Indonesia — WANASABA, Indonesia -- An identity card found at the scene of a car bombing in Bali more than a week ago leads to a remote village in the middle of rice paddies and coconut groves.
Mohammed Fawazi, 20, is said to have lived here in the back of a two-story schoolhouse on the eastern side of Lombok island.
He hasn't been seen since the Oct. 12 blast ripped through the heart of a Balinese resort town, killing and wounding hundreds, many of them young Australians.
People here acknowledge that police have been to the village to ask questions. However, few are willing to tell a reporter that they knew Fawazi, or where his relatives live.
One man who said he was a distant relative claimed to have heard from Fawazi's brother since the terrorist attack on Bali, which is just west of Lombok.
"Fawazi and his brother went to Bali for a few days for fun," said the man. "He was standing outside the Sari Club. His brother went off to do something else. When he came back, the bomb had gone off."
But before the man could say more, someone shouted at him and he hurried off, adding, "We don't know if he is alive or not."
Officials have detained no suspects and have revealed little about who might have committed the attack or how it was carried out.
"We are getting a lot of information from the local papers that say someone saw people running away after the bomb, probably because they were running in fear," said Michael Spinks, a spokesman for Australian police, who have joined the investigation. "We have to try to eliminate which ones were running away before the bomb, which ones were running away after the bomb."
On Monday, investigators released some of their findings.
They said two bombs went off. The one in front of the Sari Club, where most of the casualties took place, consisted of 110 to 330 pounds of an ammonium nitrate mix. At another location, Paddy's Irish Club, about a pound of TNT was used, said Brett Swan, another spokesman for Australian police.
The bomb in front of Paddy's was the first one, said Brig. Gen. Edward Aritonang of the Indonesian national police.
But officials have not yet answered other questions, including whether the explosions were set off by suicide bombers or by remote control and whether there was any connection with a smaller blast about the same time near the honorary American consulate nearby.
