Bali, Indonesia (AHN) - Reports surface that a series of terror related explosions have struck the resort area of Bali late Saturday night. Reports indicate multiple injuries have occurred but no reports of fatalities.

Local television and radio stations reports there were as many as four near-simultaneous explosions near tourist areas on Bali. El Shinta radio reports that at least three blasts rocked Jimbaran beach, which is lined with seafood restaurants commonly frequented by tourists. Another explosion struck downtown Kuta, about 28 km away, the station says.

In 2003, terrorists from the Jemaah Islamiyah militant group attacked the J.W. Marriott hotel in Jakarta, killing 12 people. The same terror group was blamed in an explosion outside the Australian Embassy in the same year that killed 10, as well as the 2002 bombings on Bali island that killed 202 people, 88 of them Australians.
