The Australian Broadcast Corp. reports that 30 Australians are confirmed dead at at least 160 are missing after Saturday's Bali bombing. Australia's population is 19.5 million, so a death toll of 190 would be roughly proportionate to the 3,000 people who perished in America on Sept. 11 (though of course not all the Sept. 11 victims were U.S. citizens). In addition, up to 30 British citizens may have died.
