Australia Warns of ’Advanced’ Terror Threat in Indonesia
2016-02-26
[ALMANAR.LB] Australia on Thursday warned that snuffies might be in the "advanced stages of preparing attacks" in Indonesia and advised travelers to take precautions, just days after a similar warning about neighboring Malaysia.

"Recent indications suggest that snuffies may be in the advanced stages of preparing attacks in Indonesia," the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) 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 snuffies may be planning attacks in Indonesia, which could take place anywhere at any time".

It said travelers 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,
the hip bone's connected to the leg bone...
a front man for Indonesia's national police said authorities had not seen any indications of an imminent attack.

"We have not found anything worrying," front man Agus Rianto told AFP. "At the moment, Indonesia is safe."

DFAT on Sunday warned of possible attacks in and around the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur, that they could be indiscriminate and may target Western interests or locations frequented by Westerners.

The Jakarta attacks were claimed by the so-called 'Islamic State

They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....

Indonesia suffered several major kabooms by bandidos murderous Moslems between 2000 and 2009, but a subsequent crackdown weakened the most dangerous networks.
