DENPASAR, Indonesia -- On Oct. 12, 2002, an Islamic terrorist group, Jemaah Islamiyah, detonated several bombs that ripped through two packed nightclubs favored by foreigners on the Indonesian island of Bali. It was the deadliest terrorist attack in history involving Australians, killing 88 of them among a total 202 people who died in the blast, including locals and travelers from Europe.
