CANBERRA (AUSTRALIA), 31 March 2006 - Australia issued a new travel warning for Indonesia on Friday, talking of the possibility of an attack against Westerners this Sunday. "Recent reports suggest Sunday 2 April 2006 could be a potential date for attack but we emphasise that attacks could occur at any time, anywhere in Indonesia," the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said.
The advisory, on the department's website www.smartraveller.gov.au, urges Australians to reconsider travel to Indonesia and the holiday island of Bali, saying Westerners were priority targets for attacks and kidnappings. "We continue to receive a stream of reporting indicating that terrorists are in the advanced stages of planning attacks against Western interests in Indonesia against a range of targets, including places frequented by foreigners," it said.
