U.S. Warns of Possible Terrorist Bombings
From Times Wire Reports
The United States said bombings were possible in Indonesia over Christmas and the New Year, and urged Americans there to avoid churches, nightclubs and shopping centers.
Since the Oct. 12 Bali bombings that killed at least 191 people, the U.S., Britain and scores of other Western countries have warned citizens not to travel to Indonesia. In 2000, a series of bombs exploded at churches across the country on Christmas Eve, killing 19 people. Police say they plan to guard churches this holiday season.
