Bombing in Bali, Two Indonesians questioned
Speaking in the British House of Commons this afternoon, Mr Blair said there had been no specific intelligence that any such attack was planned, but added there were extremists in the region with strong links to al Qaeda.
At least 180 people were killed when a car bomb went off outside a nightclub.
Mr Blair told the House of Commons that up to 30 Britons may have died in the bomb attack. He said that nine people were confirmed dead, eight had yet to be identified and 13 were still missing.
The Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin has confirmed that three Irish people were injured in the bombing.
Police in Indonesia are continuing to question two men in connection with the attack.
The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, has joined US President George W Bush in suggesting that al Qaeda was behind the bombing.
The United Nations Security Council has unanimously condemned the bombing.
The Council described the attack as a threat to international peace and security, and it urged all states to help bring the perpetrators to justice.
