Australians warned of Indonesian threats

The Australian government is urging citizens in Indonesia to return home after new information of a possible terrorist attack this week.

The Department of Foreign Affairs says there's an increase threat of bomb attacks and kidnap plots targeting westerners over the Christmas period.

The British and United States governments have issued similar warnings.

Lyndall Sachs from the Foreign Affairs department says the government is urging Australians who choose to remain in Indonesia to exercise extreme caution.

"The new information focuses on possible terrorist action over the Christmas New Year Period. There's been no change in the level of advice."

"What we've done is drawn to the attention of the Australian public that there are threats against Asutralians and Australian interests in Indonesia that they remain high and particularly over the Christmas new Year period Australians should defer all non-essential travel."
