Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono will leave on first occasion for Bali to inspect scenes of bomb blasts that rocked the Indonesian tourist resort island of Bali on Saturday, Presidential Spokesman Andi Mallarangeng said.

"The president will visit Bali to calm down the people who are once again rocked by bomb explosions," Andi said on Saturday evening.

Moments after closing a special meeting at Halim Perdanakusumah Air Force base, the president ordered Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Widodo, State Inelligence Agency Head Syamsir Siregar and Indonesian Police Chief General Sutanto to leave for Bali on Saturday night.

The special meeting was also attended by Indonesian Military Chief General Endriartono Sutarto and Cabinet Secretary Sudi Silalahi.

Andi said the president would leave soon but the exact time had not yet been fixed.
