Terror expert says watch out, its the season

Terrorism expert Sidney Jones, a member of the International Crisis Group, based in Jakarta, has warned that we are entering the season for trouble again.

After the first Bali bombing, on October 12th 2002, one might think there was soem kind of pattern (NYC Sept 11th 2001). Some experts think there is not a specific pattern, although there is a general cyclical timing pattern. Ms. Jones said although JI (Jemaah Islamiyah) had been splintered, it was still dangerous.

Here in Bali the mood good, there are not signs up or warnings about terrorism. Expat who live here do not even talk about it in conversation, they are more likely to talk about the price of land or the name of a new nightlclub. Visitors coming to Bali should know that by staynig out of high profile shopping / dining/ drinking establishments at night, they lessen the chance of being a target by 1,000%.
