Bloody attacks recall 2002 bombings linked to al Qaeda
(CNN) -- Blasts rocked two crowded Bali resort spots on Saturday, killing at least 36 people, hospital officials said, in the second deadly terrorist attack on the Indonesian island in three years.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono condemned Saturday's bombings as an act of terrorism. There were no immediate reports of anyone claiming responsibility.
Hospital officials said 103 people were wounded. A journalist said a hospital emergency room resembled a war zone. (Watch chaotic aftermath of Bali blasts -- 1:30)
"The ground is just covered in blood, people walking around with arms missing," said journalist Sean Mulcahy, who was next door to a restaurant hit during the attacks.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Marty Natalegawa said reports indicate the blasts appeared to have occurred only minutes apart.
Almost exactly three years ago, on October 12, 2002, terrorist bombings targeting nightclubs in Bali killed 202 people.
"People were just starting to build up confidence again, and to have this happen was devastating for the locals. But I think it's the nail in the coffin for people coming to this place," Mulcahy said.
Video of the scene in the Bali resort spot of Kuta showed glass windows of several upscale stores shattered, glass littering the street, and the awning of Raja's noodle house blown askew.
Maria Bakkalapulo, a journalist who arrived at Kuta about an hour after the blasts, said it appeared a bomb detonated inside Raja's, which "was pretty much gutted."
According to unconfirmed reports, a second bomb detonated on the restaurant's second floor, Bakkalapulo said.
Kuta is the location of the 2002 bombings, which was blamed on Jemaah Islamiyah -- a terrorist group with ties to al Qaeda.
The White House issued a statement Saturday condemning the attack and offering sympathy to victims, "their families and the people of Bali who have suffered meaningless violence before. "We also express our solidarity with the government of Indonesia and convey our readiness to assist in any way."
Kuta and Jimbaran -- the other resort spot targeted -- were "chock-a-block" with tourists celebrating a holiday weekend, Mulcahy said.
In the Jimbaran attack, two explosions tore through a long row of outdoor tables at a beachfront cafe where tourists often gather to watch the sun set, Mulcahy said. The blast sites were about 40 meters apart, he said.
Mulcahy -- who felt the blast while inside a restaurant next to Raja's -- had plans to dine with friends at Jimbaran, but the streets were backed up with heavy traffic so they headed to Kuta, instead.
"Had we gone to Jimbaran, we would more than likely be dead," Mulcahy said.
The attack left tourists filled with "fear and terror," and they are fleeing their hotels in Bali with suitcases in hand, Mulcahy said.
"I imagine they'll put on extra flights to cope with the amount of people that are leaving," he said.
Local media reports said several foreigners are among those wounded. Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer told Australia's ABC radio that one Australian was among those killed.
Warnings of terrorism
Recently, Yudhoyono had issued a warning that terrorist cells inside the country were still active despite hundreds of arrests.
Several other governments, including the United States, had warned about a high terrorist threat to foreigners in Indonesia ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which begins next week.
A report issued in early September warned that Osama bin Laden and his top lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahiri, may be planning a series of attacks in October, dubbed "The Great Ramadan Offensive."
On Friday the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta reiterated its warning of last May that the threat of terrorism is high and Americans there should be vigilant.
"Attacks could occur at any time and could be directed against any location, including those frequented by foreigners and identifiably American or other western facilities or businesses in Indonesia," the message said.
The island of Bali -- a popular spot for international tourists -- is a Hindu enclave in Indonesia, which has the highest Muslim population of any nation in the world.
