Badung regency administration has planned to install 35 CCTVs across Kuta tourist resort in the face of possible terror attacks.

Regent Anak Agung Gde Agung said Saturday the initiative came from the National Police in response to twin hotel bombings in Jakarta on Friday, which killed at least eight people and injured over 50 others.

“We will immediately install the CCTVs,” Agung said after a meeting at the Denpasar police office.

CCTV will also be installed in 23 spots across South Kuta and three across North Kuta, the regent said.

“Security measures have been in place so far, but we will step them up following the Jakarta bombings,” he said.

Bomb attacks ripped through Kuta in 2002 and 2005, killing over 200 people, mostly foreign tourists.

Army: Gunmen kill Indonesia soldier in Papua

Associated Press, Jayapura | Thu, 07/21/2011 6:47 PM An army officer says unidentified gunmen have ambushed Indonesia soldiers and killed one of them in the easternmost province of Papua. The chief army officer in Papua says soldiers are still searching for the gunmen. Maj. Gen. Erfi Triassunu said the ambush Thursday morning happened outside a village in the hilly district of Puncak Jaya. Triassunu said the victim was a first private killed by a shot to his head. No information was available on the other soldiers. The attack occurred one day after a military tribunal indicted three low-ranking soldiers for killing a civilian in Puncak Jaya last year. Papua is a former Dutch colony incorporated into Indonesia in 1969 after a U.N.-sponsored ballot. A small, poorly armed separatist movement has battled for independence ever since.
