Death toll keeps going up.. ananova.com [The USA war on terrorism will get some extra UN focus from this for sure. I hope that the responsible parties are found and prosecuted...whoever they are pb] Six Britons feared dead in Bali bomb blast Up to six Britons are now feared to have been among the 187 people who were killed when two bomb blasts ripped through a crowded tourist resort on the Indonesian island of Bali. But the British ambassador to Jakarta, Richard Gozney, said that the number of British dead could rise much further as there were still 25 Britons unaccounted for. As an international anti-terrorism operation got under way in Kuta, he said: "One hundred and eighty to 200 people have been pulled out from the wreckage on the streets and the two bars which were attacked. "On the British side, there is still one or two absolutely confirmed dead but I'm afraid there are about five or six ... we are pretty sure there are five or six people. "Much more worrying that still there are still about 25 people not accounted for, some of whom who were seen in the bars and area nearby shortly beforehand. "Others may have gone on and done something quite different and not reported back to their hotels for other reasons. "But we are afraid that figure of five or six is going to rise quite considerably still." The Foreign Office in London has confirmed that a 30-year-old man from Cornwall died in the carnage, which also left at least 300 people wounded. Experts believe that the explosions on a busy street of nightclubs and bars was the latest anti-western outrage by terrorists linked to Osama bin Laden. However, British officials insisted it was too early to tell who was responsible. The Metropolitan Police announced a team of officers from its anti-terrorist branch are travelling to Singapore. They will be on standby to offer assistance to the Indonesian authorities investigating the incident.
