Investigations have begun into the bomb on the Indonesian island of Bali that ripped through a nightclub on Saturday night killing 187 people and injuring 309. Australia, home to the majority of the blast's victims, has announced that Foreign Minister Alexander Downer will fly to Bali later on Monday, before continuing to Jakarta for talks with security authorities. Prime Minister John Howard pledged that Australia's response would be measured, but powerful. Many tourists have already opted to leave Bali and now the US State Department has urged all American citizens in Indonesia to leave the country and ordered the departure of non-emergency US Government personnel from there.
