At least 26 dead in latest Bali bombings

Friday, 03 Oct, 2005 0

Suicide bombers are believed to have been responsible for three explosions in Bali which killed 26 and left at least 100 people injured.

The terrorist attacks came almost three years to the day of the 2002 bombings on the Indonesian island in which more than 200 people died.

The UK Foreign Office said that in the Saturday night incident at least three bombs exploded on Central Kuta and Jimbaran beach in Bali.

At least two Britons are know to have been injured as Islamic militants targeted tourist restaurants.

“There have been a number of deaths, including foreigners,” the FO said, adding: “If you are in Indonesia, you should exercise extreme caution at all times because there remains a high threat from terrorism.”

A Foreign Office helpline has been set up for those wishing further advice and assistance on: 0207 008 8765.

The FO added: “People still intending in the immediate future to travel to Bali should review thoroughly information on the local situation, and ensure they are taking all precautions and folloiwng local advice.”
