Terrorists strike again in Bali with Australian dead.

Reuters Alert net say at least 12 dead from various countries and 41 injured

ABC News reports;

Indonesian authorities have begun investigating three bomb blasts that ripped through crowded restaurants on the Indonesian resort island of Bali, which killed 25 people including at least one Australian.

A DFAT Travel notice has been issued at 03:12:52 AEST Sunday, 02 October 2005.

I include that information for the fools who are currently working out how to blame Howard and Downer for the blast.

More from DFAT
