commemorations have been held on the indonesian island of bali to mark the bombings 10 years ago that killed 202 people.
印度尼西亚巴厘岛正在举行纪念活动，纪念10年前死于爆炸案的202人。
people from 21 nations died in the bombings, blamed on the jemaah islamiah 1 group, on 12 october 2002.
security was tight after bali police on wednesday warned of possible attacks against visiting dignitaries.
the bombs ripped through paddy's irish bar and the nearby sari club in bali's popular kuta tourist district.
australian prime minister julia gillard, former pm john howard and 2 leader tony abbott all attended the commemorations. eighty-eight australians were among the dead.
'contesting emotions'
speaking at the early morning memorial service in jimbaran, bali, ms gillard said australia and indonesia were "closer than we had ever been before''.
she paid tribute to rescuers who ''ran towards terror'', and to police and leaders in both australia and indonesia for how they handled the aftermath of the blasts.
''this is a day of contesting emotions,'' she added, addressing visibly emotional family members of victims attending the ceremony.
an estimated 1,000 australians had travelled to the island for the commemorations. one of them was danny hanley, who lost two daughters in the attack.
his 3 daughter, renee, died inside the sari club and his youngest daughter, simone, after 58 days of treatment in hospital.
"when i hear of the 88 australians that died i always shed a tear because my beautiful daughter simone was number 88," he said.
many of those who survived the attacks, such as tumini, who was a bartender at paddy's, continue to be haunted by memories.
"i feel my life is still 4. i am not 100% normal," she told the associated press. "i often think and ask why god still allows me to live if i have to endure this pain."
