You may, or may not have heard that just over 12 hours ago, a series of blasts rips up Bali, a resort island in Indonesia. Reports show that about 30 people are dead, going up from reports as low as three. This includes South Koreans, Americans, Australians, Indonesians and a Briton. The explosions hit three locations around Bali, hitting two restrants and a shopping center, almost 30 kilometers away. A 16-year old Australian boy is among the dead.
