Indonesia's defence minister has accused Osama Bin Laden's al-Qaeda network of involvement in the massive bomb attack on the island of Bali which killed at least 188 people. The American FBI and experts from Australia and Britain have joined investigations into the attack, and Indonesian police say they have the names of several suspects. The attack, in the resort of Kuta, destroyed the Sari Club, a nightspot popular with foreign tourists, and many of the victims were burned beyond recognition. Hundreds were injured and about 220 Australians remain unaccounted for. UK Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said on Monday it is now thought that 33 Britons are among the dead.
