In an effort to woo Japanese tourists back to Indonesia's Bali in the aftermath of deadly bombings there on Oct. 1, Gov. Dewa Beratha said Monday that his administration, the police and local people are working together to restore security to the popular resort island.
Speaking at a news conference in Tokyo after visiting transport minister Kazuo Kitagawa earlier in the day, Beratha said, "We have reinforced our surveillance system at ports and the airport and other busy places to counter suicide bombings through such measures as seeking identification."
More than 20 people, including a 51-year-old Japanese man, were killed and at least 100 were injured in the three suicide bombings at restaurants in Kuta and Jimbaran districts on Oct. 1.
