DPA;ANJ; ANPAu..r.. ATW-NewZealand-RI-warning NZ issues new Bali travel warning JP/11/J05 NZ issues new Bali travel warning NEW ZEALAND: The New Zealand government on Friday issued a new warning about travel to Indonesia, even though it is paying for 80 people to go to Bali next month for services on the first anniversary of the devastating terrorist bombing that killed 202 people on the resort island.

The foreign ministry cited continued reports that further attacks were being planned and could occur at any time. It also said security for those going to the services on Oct. 12 could not be guaranteed.

The ministry is advising against all tourist and non-essential travel to Indonesia, including Bali, but said the government understood that some New Zealanders might judge their attendance at the commemorative services to be essential.

There were only three New Zealanders among the Bali dead, but the government agreed to pay travel costs for families of the victims, who were either in the two bars worst hit in the blasts or were injured or suffered in the immediate aftermath. -- DPA
