#Bali: Explosion on Boat Kills One Foreign Tourist

Local Editor

An explosion on a tourist boat off the Indonesian island of Bali has killed at least one foreign woman and injured 19 other people, police said.

A "short circuit" near the fuel tank may have been the cause, officials said, ruling out a bomb.

The boat was carrying at least 30 passengers, all foreigners, and four crew, and was heading to the nearby holiday island of Gili Trawangan.

Initial reports said the tourist killed was from Germany but this has not been officially confirmed.

The explosion on the Gili Cat 2 boat happened 200m [219 yards] out of Padang Bai port in eastern Bali, according to police.
