Terror warning back up for Bali

Australia has pinpointed today, April 20th, as a potential day for a terrorist attack. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade issued a statement this afternoon, stating: “The revised advice notes recent reporting that suggests possible heightened risk of terrorist attack on Thursday, 20th April,2006.” “It continues to advise Australians to reconsider their need to travel to Indonesia including Bali at this time because of a very high threat of terrorist attack,”

Who knows where they get their information from, but the tension over the 42 Papuan asylum seekers seems a possible reason to worry. Trouble makers might start thinking about targeting westerners, though its not likely.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, said points of special concern were Aceh, Ambon, and Central Sulawesi. Bali is on the general list too, because of the high number of westerners. Typing this in an interent cafe on Jl. Dhyana Pura its seems pretty quiet. Let’s hope its a quiet night everywhere in Indonesia tonight.
