BEIJING, Oct. 2 -- British Prime Minister Tony Blair has condemned a series of deadly bombings on the resort island of Bali in the "strongest terms" and pledged his support for Indonesia's government in its fight against extremism.

    Blair's offices said he was writing a personal note to Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono offering his sympathy following the latest atrocity to hit the island, which left at least 32 people dead and more than 100 injured.

    In a statement, the prime minister said he condemns in the strongest terms the appalling attacks in Bali and British people are with the victims and their families.

    Blair recalled that he agreed with Yudhoyono, at a meeting in New York last month, on the importance of working together to fight extremist violence, which both Indonesia and Britain have suffered first hand.

    He said Britain was deeply grateful for and moved by the support and sympathy given by the Indonesian government and people after the London bombings on subway trains and a bus in July.

    Meanwhile, the prime minister applauded the Indonesian government's determination to defeat the terrorists and said the British government stands ready to help in any way it can.

    In a related development, the Foreign Office said no British citizens were yet recorded as casualties in explosions on Bali Island.

    The Foreign Office said its ambassador to Jakarta is on his way down to Bali.

    The office added it is sending an emergency deployment team from Hong Kong and supplementing this with staff from London.
