The latest Bali bombings threaten to ruin the island's tourism industry just as it was recovering from terrorist attacks three years ago, with at least one regional government on Sunday urging its citizens to stay away and tour operators predicting an immediate drop in visitors.
Powerful blasts blamed on suicide bombers ripped through three crowded Bali restaurants late Saturday, killing at least 25 people and injuring dozens more.
The attacks, focused on popular tourist areas, came almost exactly three years after the Oct. 12, 2002 Bali nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians and several other foreigners.
