JAKARTA, Oct. 1 (Xinhuanet) -- At least 30 people were killed in Saturday's
three explosions at two tourism spots of Jimbaran and Kuta Town Square in
Indonesia's resort province of Bali, local radio station Alssinda reported.
Dozens of injured people were rushed to local hospitals and most of them
were foreign tourists, it added.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono condemned the blasts on the
island of Bali that he called a criminal act and is heading to the island, the
presidential spokesman said.
"The president strongly condemns this criminal act. At this moment, the
president is at the airport (in Jakarta)," spokesman Andi Mallarangeng told El
Shinta radio.
According to the official news agency Antara, the first and second
explosions occurred at 18:50 (local time) at a food court in Jimbaran district
and the third blast at 19:00 in Kuta Town Square.
Antara quoted witnesses as saying that the blasts damaged several
buildings.
There was no immediate confirmation of what had caused the blasts.
The bombings came almost three years after the deadly blasts rocked the island in 2002, killing 202 people, mostly foreign tourists. Enditem |
