US and Australia warn of attack in Indonesia
2006-04-01
The US embassy in Jakarta joined Australia on Friday in warning of a possible attack against Westerners in Indonesia this Sunday. "Terrorists continue to plan attacks against Westerners and Western interests in Indonesia," the embassy said in a statement e-mailed to Americans in Indonesia, adding: "Recent reports suggest that Sunday April 2, 2006 could be one potential date for an attack."

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade had issued a similar warning earlier on its Web site www.smartraveller.gov.au, talking of a possibility of an attack against Westerners on Sunday. In wording virtually identical to Australia's, the US embassy advisory added that attacks can occur at any time, anywhere in Indonesia. It also repeated previous cautions that any place where "Americans and other Westerners live, congregate, shop or visit" could be potential targets, but that attacks would not necessarily be limited to such spots.
