Police personnel in the field have so far not found any indication that another terrorist bombing attack is going to happen in Bali as intimated in a travel advisory issued by the Australian government, a police spokesman said.
"We have yet to detect signs that Bali will again experience a bombing attack in the near future," Bali Police Headuarters’ public information chief, Senior Commissioner AS Reniban, said here Monday.<>
He was commenting on the issuance of a travel warning by the Australian government suggesting that terror bombs like the ones in 2002 and 2005 were going to explode in Indonesia’s best kown resort island before long. The warning said bombing attacks would not only hit Bali but also Jakarta.
Reniban said the Australian government’s suspicions could be true but where the situation in Bali was concerned, police had so far not found any clues about an impending bombing attack.
"Neither the intelligence agents we have spread in the field nor the many sources of information we have in the community have so far reported indications of an imminent terrorist action in Bali," he was quoted by Antara news agency as saying.
But police were not in the least reducing or relaxing their efforts to detect early signs that terrorists were about to strike again, he said.
He called on the local public to remain calm and not to be upset or worried while keeping alert towards any unusual occurrence in their immediate surroundings, and to report any suspicious activity they saw or knew about to the police. (dar)
