Aussies to remember Bali attack

Australians and Indonesians will gather on Friday to mark the fifth anniversary of
the 2005 Bali terrorist bombings.
Four Australians were among more than 20 people killed when suicide bombers attacked
popular seafood cafes at Jimbaran Beach and a busy restaurant in Kuta on October 1,
2005.
Bombing survivors will be among the guests at an intimate commemoration service to
be held at the Australian consulate on Friday.
Acting Consul General Brent Hall will give a speech before a wreath-laying ceremony.
Other commemorations are expected to take place near the bombing sites.
Australians in Bali will also gather on October 12 to mark the eighth anniversary of
the 2002 nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians.
The federal government recently warned Australians planning to travel to Bali for
the commemorations of the possibility of fresh terrorist attacks.
"Australians planning to visit Bali to attend the commemorative services should note
that the government continues to recommend that Australians reconsider their need to
travel to Indonesia, including Bali, due to the very high threat of terrorist
attack," the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said.
"We continue to receive credible information that terrorists could be planning
attacks in Indonesia which could take place at any time."
