I believe the BBC has reported 9 dead thus far. Foreigners amongst the victims.

No Muslims were involved. Islam is a religion of peace, and Mohammed was the final prophet.

There is no report of South Korean death yet, it added.

What do you mean 'if'? They were obviously carried out by terrorists, and the religious motivations of these terrorists is not hard to guess either.

Most of Indonesia is Moslem. Bali is not. It's Hindi.

Foreigners are incidental, attacked simply to undermine the Bali tourist economy, strength and movement toward autonomy.

I have never heard CNN identify this undercurrent and the long history of violence it has brung. Instead, the blanket term "terrorism" without local context makes it all so much more relevant to viewers I guess, and more palpable when put in a post-9/11 context instead of the ongoing reality it actually is.
