STORYLINE:
US citizens in Indonesia were told on Wednesday to decide for themselves whether to stay in the country following the devastating bomb which killed more than 180 people in Bali.
US Ambassador Richard C. Boyce held an emergency meeting with Americans in Jakarta to discuss the possible threat of further violence.
He told them that there were many factors to consider before choosing to pull out of the country and that it was up to each indivual.
The Bali bombing mainly affected tourists and some of the Americans who attended the meeting refused to be intimidated by the tragedy.
