Britain warns of Iraq-related attacks in Indonesia
Britain has warned its citizens in Indonesia that tension over Iraq could prompt
attacks on Western interests, and suggested they avoid places frequented by
foreigners.
The British Embassy said in an advisory it continued to receive information that
indicates extremists may be planning additional attacks targeting Western interests.
The statement said it was likely that extremists would harass Westerners in bars and
nightclubs frequented by foreigners.
Politicians and religious leaders in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim
country, have said they fear a backlash and violence at home if U.S. and British
forces attack Iraq.
