Hundreds of people on Indonesia's resort island of Bali, where a 2002 terror attack claimed 202 lives, remembered victims of last week's London bombings with two minutes of silence. Residents and foreign tourists gathered at Bali's ground zero -- a vacant lot that once housed two crowded nightclubs -- holding candles and bowing their heads, said Bagiana Karang, a village chief in the tourist area of Kuta. "We gathered here to express our solidarity, our sympathy and condolences with the victims and their families," Karang said of the London terror attacks that killed at least 52 people.

'No country safe from terror attacks'

French President Jacques Chirac warned on Thursday during a national Bastille Day interview that no one in the world was safe from terrorist acts like the deadly bombings that rocked London last week. "No country in the world is safe from attacks," Chirac said. "These terrorists have a mentality, a psychological state that is different from our own. All efforts must be made to fight against terrorism," the French president added. "With respect to terrorism, we must constantly adapt our means and ability to respond. We never know what they are going to come up with next." -- AFP
