Warning
Prior to the evening of Saturday 12 October 2002, Bali was the glittering jewel in the deteriorating crown of Indonesia. A series of precision bomb attacks aimed at Western holiday-makers claimed around 200 lives - most of them Australians and Europeans - and left many hundreds more either injured or missing. The Sari Club, near popular Kuta Beach, bore the brunt of the attack when an explosion ripped through just before midnight. No group has yet claimed responsibility for the explosions, however with anti-Islamic sentiment strong in the West and anti-Western feelings at boiling point among fundamentalist Muslim groups, many are assuming that this event was carried out by terrorists.

Tourists are advised to delay any trips to Bali until more is known about the recent attacks. Consult your foreign affairs department for more information prior to venturing anywhere in Indonesia.
