Australia warns of attacks in Indonesia
Print Edition
AUSTRALIA yesterday warned that terrorists might be in the “advanced stages of preparing attacks” in Indonesia and advised travellers to take precautions, just days after a similar warning about neighboring Malaysia.
“Recent indications suggest that terrorists may be in the advanced stages of preparing attacks in Indonesia,” the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said in an updated travel advisory.
“We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Indonesia, including Jakarta, Bali and Lombok, due to the high threat of terrorist attack.”
The advisory did not raise the overall threat level, which is at “exercise a high degree of caution,” and noted that the department continued to “receive information that indicates that terrorists may be planning attacks in Indonesia, which could take place anywhere at any time.”
It said travellers should be particularly careful when in places that have low levels of security and while at possible known terrorist targets, listing previous attack sites such as nightclubs, bars, cafes, restaurants, international hotels, airports and places of worship.
“The Indonesian government has recently increased security across Indonesia, which underscores the ongoing high threat of a terrorist attack,” it added.
However, a spokesman for Indonesia’s national police said authorities had not seen any indications of an imminent attack.
“We have not found anything worrying,” said spokesman Agus Rianto. “At the moment, Indonesia is safe.”
