font size    

The death toll of four bomb blasts ripping through popular tourist destination Bali island on Saturday reached 26 people, while 125 were injured, according to the data released by a major hospital in Denpasar, Bali on Sunday.

Most of the victims are Indonesians who worked for the two separate cafes in downtown area of Kuta and on the Jimbaran beach,where the explosions blasted, said the data from the island's biggest hospital Sangla.

The death toll comprised 13 Indonesians, one Australian, one Japanese as well as 11 others of unidentified nationalities.

Among the wounded were 82 Indonesians, 22 Australians, three Japanese, seven South Koreans, four Americans, one French, one German and five others of unidentified nationalities.

Meanwhile, security authorities have found three bombs in other cafes on the Jimbaran beach, which failed to be detonated.

The Bombs exploded almost simultaneously in the two tourist areas of Jimbaran district and Kuta Town Square on Bali island Saturday evening. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who was inspecting the explosion scenes at Jimbarang District and Kuta Town Square, said Sunday that suicide bombings in the two places killed 26 people and injured more than 50 so far.

He said the investigators led by a cabinet minister, the police chief and a military officer would make efforts to find the perpetrators as soon as possible.

No one claimed responsible for the bombings so far. But Bali police chief I Made Mangku Pastika said at a press conference Sunday at least six people conspired to carry out the blasts.

He said three suicide bombers and at least three more other people were involved in the bombings.

"I am certain that there are others involved in this bombing. There are those who planned it, there were those making the arrangements, those preparing the bombs and those are the ones we must search for."

Pastika said investigators found that the attacks were carried out by suicide bombers because of the way the suspects' bodies had been torn apart, with fragments of their jackets clinging to their dismembered body parts.

He further noted that explosives had been strapped to their bodies.
