Bomb in Bali
The bomb, in the resort of Kuta,
destroyed the Sari Club and a crowded nightspot. Many people have fallen
victims to this blast. Many of them were foreign tourists, especially
from Australia. They were burner beyond recognition. Some tourist who
were at the scene of the blast said there were two explosions around the
nightclub. One bomb had exploded outside Paddy’s Bar before a Bar bomb
hit the Sari Club which was located some meters away.
Hundred were injured in the
explosion and about 220 Australians remain unaccounted for. The U.K.
Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, said that 33 Britons were among those
killed in the Bali attack. The Australian Primer Minister, John Howard,
called its borders, saying it had been a problem for a long time.
Lists of missing people have
been posted in Bali and official said that it could take days to
identity all the victims, some of whom were trapped in the Sari Club by a
wall of flames. A notice board at the hospital in Bali includes a
section called “Unknown Identity” and detailed list on victims such as :
“Young girl in intensive care, 11-14 years old, face burned, income,
Causation,” or “Girl in intensive care, about 5 years old, 130 cm, fair
skin, Caucasian with reddish brown hair. She has a purplish belly button
ring.”
Many embassies, including the
British and the American, are advising their people to cancel spending
their planned holidays in Indonesia, and all U.S. citizens in the
country have been told to leave including diplomats and non-essential
government staff.
