Australia warns of terrorist risk in Indonesia at Christmas

The Australian government has information that "possible specific terrorist attacks" are being planned around Christmas in Indonesia, Foreign Minister Alexander Downer said Friday.

He did not give any details of potential specific attacks, but said churches and other places had been targeted in the past during Christmas time in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim nation. "There have in the past been terrorist attacks, particularly on churches and on other religious institutions, during Christmas," Downer said. (AP)
