You would have to be living in a world with no access to the
radio, newspapersor tv not to hear about the recent bombing
in Bali. News reports say that around 75 percent of those who
died (around 200) in the blasts were Australian nationals.

But let's not forget the local people of Bali and other
nationals too, who lost their lives in Bali. A further 300
people were injured in the attack. As investigations start
into Saturday's nightclub bombings on Bali, Australian
airline Qantas is laying on extra flights to bring tourists
and injured victims back from the Indonesian island.
Singapore Airlines has also been carrying additional
passengers.

The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation and
Australian police and intelligence services are helping in
thesearch for the bombers.

The governments of Australia and the United States are
advising against travel to Indonesia and the US State
Department has asked all American citizens to leave the
country. All US government personnel, apart from those in key
positions, are being withdrawn.

The UK has also issued a travel warning, advising the
cancellation of non-essential visits to Indonesia.

Despite some expected cancellations, Singapore Airlines says
it is continuing to operate four daily flights to the area.

The airlines say they will not impose penalty charges on
passengers who change or cancel their flight reservations.
Those without tickets wishing to leave Bali are being offered
discounted fares.
