RI issues travel warning for UK

INDONESIA: Indonesia has advised its citizens to avoid traveling to Britain due to fears of possible terror attacks following the recent bombings in Spain.

"The terrorism threat is moving to Great Britain, particularly to cities," said a statement issued by the Indonesian Embassy in London that was received on Saturday.

Indonesians are advised to "postpone nonessential travel" to Britain and those already in the country should avoid hotels, entertainment centers, subway and bus stations, the statement said. As well as London, Birmingham and Manchester were also identified as potential terrorist targets by the embassy, Koran Tempo daily reported on Saturday.

Indonesia has often complained about the travel warnings issued by Britain and the United States. -- AP
