Australia warns of Aceh attacks

[Syrinx]

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) -- Australia's foreign minister said Saturday
that terrorists could be planning to attack foreign aid workers in
Indonesia's tsunami-ravaged Aceh province.

"New information (has been) received by the government concerning
possible terrorist planning for attacks against foreigners involved in
relief efforts in Aceh or other areas of northern Sumatra," Foreign
Affairs Minister Alexander Downer said in a statement.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade on Saturday revised its
travel advice for Indonesia, warning that Australians could endanger
themselves by traveling to northern Sumatra island, where Aceh is
located.

"The government is working closely with Indonesian authorities and
other governments involved in the relief effort to address this new
threat information," Downer said.
