Fears grow for British divers missing off Bali
Fears were growing last night for three British divers missing in treacherous waters off the coast of Bali since Thursday.
Kathleen Mitchinson, Charlotte Allin and James Manning have not been seen since they went to explore the waters off Komodo national park. Two other divers, one French, one Swedish, are also missing.
According to diving experts, the area where they were last spotted is among the most unpredictable and dangerous in the tropics, with fast currents capable of carrying divers far away from their boats.

US lifts travel warning on Indonesia
The United States says it has lifted a travel warning placed on Indonesia following a string of terrorist attacks. It cited improved security for the decision.
Hundreds of Islamic militants have been convicted and imprisoned as part of efforts by local authorities to weaken the regional network Jemaah Islamiyah, blamed for at least four deadly suicide bombings in Indonesia since 2002.
The last one was carried out on Bali island in late 2005, killing 20 people.
U.S. Ambassador to Jakarta Cameron Hume said Sunday the warning was lifted because of "improvements made by Indonesia in its current security situation."

Bali villa a luxurious spot for shared family vacation
Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada advises against non-essential travel to Indonesia, including Bali ... due to the current threat of terrorist attack against Western interests.... Terrorist attacks can occur at any time and in any location, including Bali."
Of all the great vacation destinations in the world, what sane person would even consider Bali after this warning? Bali, however, is where my wife and I and our three-year old daughter took our February vacation. Our destination: a Balinese villa in the Seminyak region.
We left Vancouver in the snow for the long ride across the Pacific. It was a trip we faced with apprehension. How would our three-year-old handle the 16-hour flight?
