| THE Federal Government is providing $1 million to help Bali cope with the aftermath of the weekend terrorist bombings. The blasts set off by three suicide bombers killed 22 people including up to four Australians, and injured more than 120. Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said the package, being provided through the agency AusAid, would include $100,000 to boost Denpasar hospital's victim identification operations. "But also, we'll be setting aside some resources to assist locals who have been directly affected by the bombing," he said. "We're very struck by the enormous damage these bombings will do not just directly to people who have been in the way of the bombs, but also to the Balinese community, and we want to look at ways we might be able to provide broader assistance to Bali." Spending priorities for the rest of the money were still being considered, Mr Downer said. |
