Canada warns of new RI attacks

INDONESIA: Canada said on Friday there could be further attacks in Indonesia following last weekend's suicide blasts in Bali and warned its nationals against nonessential travel to the country.

"The possibility of further attacks puts Canadians at risk," an advisory said.

"Canadians should exercise caution and maintain a high level of personal security awareness at all times and in all places. As these explosions demonstrate, the security situation can deteriorate rapidly without notice."

Australia also warned on Tuesday of possible new attacks.

"Media have reported further general and specific bomb and terrorist threats and anonymous tip-offs in the wake of the October 1 bombings," Australia's foreign affairs department advisory said.

"Canadians are reminded that there is an ongoing terrorist threat to Westerners and Western interests in Indonesia," Friday's advisory said. -- AFP
