Bali Explosions - 2 October 2005 11.10am
At least three bombs exploded in Bali at
8.00pm local time on 1 October, at Kuta and Jimbaran.
Several deaths and injuries have occurred. At this stage
there are no reports of New Zealand casualties.
New
Zealand Embassy staff from Jakarta, now in Bali, are
continuing to check hospitals for casualties.
New
Zealanders concerned about family and friends in Kuta and
Jimbaran should try to contact them directly, in the first
instance. Communications, however, remain difficult.
New
Zealanders with concerns may also call the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and Trade on 0800 432 111 (from overseas +64
4 439 8401).
New Zealanders in Bali are advised to
exercise extreme caution and remain in their hotels for the
time being. They are urged to contact family and friends in
New Zealand to advise them they are safe.
