A BOURNEMOUTH MP whose brother was killed in the 2002 Bali bombings says governments around the world must work together more closely to beat terrorism.

Tobias Ellwood, Conservative MP for Bournemouth East, spoke out following the Bali bombings over the weekend which killed at least 19 people and left more than 100 injured.

The slaughter has been linked to Muslim terror group Jemaah Islamiyah - the same Al Qaida-linked fanatics behind the 2002 night-club bombings which claimed the lives of 202 people, including Mr Ellwood's brother Jonathan.

The devices exploded at 7.30pm local time on Saturday at two restaurants and a caf known to be popular with British tourists. At least one Briton and six Americans are known to be among the injured.

Mr Ellwood said: "It's been another very, very sad day for Bali. The wounds which had just started to heal have been opened up again.

"It is a reminder of how much needs to be done in the global war on terrorism.

"We need to reconsider our approach to international terrorism. We work very hard in the UK to introduce laws and protect our safety and our communities.

"But it undermines our hard work if you get off the plane outside Europe and are confronted with terrorism.

"I also understand the Indonesian president had information suggesting that a terrorist attack was going to take place.

"I think the Indonesians need to put their hands up and acknowledge they can't cope with terrorism.

"There is little point in us being robust about dealing with terrorism if, when we go abroad, we are confronted with it there."

Mr Ellwood added that governments must work together to stamp out terrorist training camps known to be operating in places like Pakistan, Afghanistan and Indonesia.

He added: "They will continue to produce suicide bombers who will wreak havoc on our security across the world.

"I think we need to be putting pressure on countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan where the training camps continue to operate.

"If someone is determined to carry out a bombing it is very difficult to stop them.

"What you can do is go to the core of the organisation and find out where these people are being trained and deal with it."
