Taiwan News is breaking a story that the Taiwanese Government was warned about the bombing
by American intelligence. They were also instructed noy to release the information.
I don't know why Taiwan would want to make up a story such as this...

Despite the fact that the bombing in Bali caused many deaths and injuries, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not move immediately to list Indonesia as a highly dangerous area or restrict travel to that country, but only issued a safety warning to travelers from Taiwan.
Kuomintang legislative leader Lee Chuan-chiao (燠諒) pointed out that the incident had exposed the DPP government's poor crisis management skills, particularly in view of the Executive Yuan's claim that it had, last Friday, obtained intelligence on a possible terrorist attack in a southeast Asian Muslim country.
According to Lee, the worst part is that the government did not issue a warning because the United States government asked it not to disclose the information.
"The KMT's priority is the safety of our people - not America's national interests." He also called on the government to establish an anti-terrorism crisis management team.
