The UN Security Council on Tuesday strongly condemned the deadly weekend bombing in Bali, Indonesia, regretting that the island had "again fallen victim to a heinous act of terrorism."

In a statement adopted in response to the latest attack, the Security Council underlined the need to bring the perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors to justice, and urged all States to provide support and assistance to the Indonesian Government.

The statement, read by the Council President for October, Ambassador Mihnea Ioan Motoc of Romania, reiterated that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constituted one of the most serious threats to international peace and security and that "any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed."

It also restated the Council's determination to combat all forms of terrorism, in accordance with its responsibilities for peace and security under the UN Charter.
