Three Irish still missing in Bali carnage

THREE Irish tourists were among 25 people still unaccounted for following a massive bomb blast which ripped through two packed bars on the Indonesian resort island of Bali.

The Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that a number of Irish holidaymakers were caught up in the car bomb, which killed at least 187 people. The attack has been linked to al-Qaida terrorists.

"A small number of Irish people were injured in the explosion. However, we can confirm that the injuries are not life-threatening," a spokesman said.
