World Leaders Condemn Bali Bombings

01 October 2005

World leaders have denounced the deadly bombings on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the United States stands with Indonesia as it works to bring to justice those responsible for the attacks.

She said the United States condemns the terrorist bombings, and will continue to work with Indonesia in the common fight against terror.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair denounced the attacks and applauded what he called the Indonesian government's determination to defeat the terrorists. He said his government stands ready to help in any way possible.

Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said he believes the attacks were the work of a group like the Islamic extremist Jemaah Islamiyah - but he stressed no one has claimed responsibility and there is no evidence as to who may have carried out the attack.
