BALI, Oct 25: Ten Pakistanis, questioned in Bali last month before the bloody bomb attacks, have been interrogated again and will be brought back to the island to face more questions, Indonesian police said on Friday.

National Police deputy spokesman Edward Aritonang told reporters the Pakistanis had been questioned following the Oct 12 bomb blasts that killed more than 180 people.

“We have questioned them again because we feel that we needed more statements based on the latest results of the investigation,” he said. “We are going to bring them to Bali,” he added.

Aritonang declined to give any details about the Pakistanis, who were questioned originally about a speech they made in Nusa Dua, close to the Kuta Beach strip of bars and clubs where the bombs went off.

He refused to say where they had gone following their release after the original questioning, but said the guarantor of their visas had ensured they stayed in Indonesia.—Reuters
