| An al Qaeda-linked group is targeting Western ambassadors in Indonesia for assassination, according to reports. The Wall Street Journal said British and Australian intelligence organisations have "specific and credible" information that terrorists from the Jemaah Islamiyah group, trained to carry out assassinations, have entered Indonesia in recent weeks. The paper said the US, British and Australian ambassadors and senior officials from their embassies were the prime targets. Ansyaad M’bai, who heads the counter-terrorism desk at Indonesia’s security ministry, said that so far he has "no specific indications" of planned assassinations. "But we remain alert, including by increasing security on the possible targets," he added. The US, Australian and British embassies would not comment. |
