Two Reported Killed in Bali Explosions

Several explosions occurred almost simultaneously Saturday in tourist 
areas of Bali island, causing casualties, police and a private 
Indonesian radio station said. A witness told the radio station at 
least two people were killed.

At least three blasts occurred along Jimbaran beach, which is lined 
with seafood restaurants commonly frequented by tourists, El Shinta 
radio reported. Witnesses saw at least three injured foreigners 
leaving the scene, the station said.

One witness told Metro TV that one of the explosions was close to the 
Four Seasons Hotel, which sits on the bay, and "people are still 
being evacuated."

Another explosion hit downtown Kuta, about 18 miles away, the radio 
said.

Bali police spokesman Lt. Col. Antonius Reniban confirmed that 
several blasts went off, but he could not say if they were bombs.

"There have been some explosions in Jimbaran and Kuta area, but we 
cannot give any details," he said. "Police are still investigating."

In 2002, bombings blamed on the al-Qaida-linked militant group Jemaah 
Islamiyah killed 202 people, mostly foreigners, on Bali island.

Since then, the same extremist group has been tied to at least two 
other bombings in Indonesia, both in the capital, Jakarta. Those 
blasts, one at the J.W. Marriott hotel in 2003 and the other outside 
the Australian Embassy in 2004, killed at least 23 people.

Western and Indonesian intelligence agencies have consistently warned 
that the group was plotting more attacks. Last month, President 
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said he was especially worried the network 
was about to carry out more attacks.
