100's of thousands of Aussies have cancelled their Christmas holidays in Indonesia because of the new terror threat alert?Australians are being warned to avoid international hotels in Indonesia, particularly the Hilton chain, with intelligence pointing to an imminent terrorist attack. Australia's ambassador to Indonesia, David Ritchie, delivered the travel advice to the Hilton chain within minutes of its release yesterday.
Jakarta hotel plays down terrorism alert
The general manager of Jakarta's Hilton Hotel says he believes there is no need to pass an Australian terrorism warning on to his guests.
He then sought the names of Australians among the Jakarta Hilton's 1,000 guests so the embassy could contact them.
But the hotel's general manager says there is no need to panic guests with a warning, which he says, is lacking in specific detail.
Australian embassy staff are also contacting other hotels based on fears that any planned attack could be switched to another target?
Just like what happened when the terrorist chose to blow up the Australian Embassy in Jakarta only because they changed their minds at the last minute? Would you believe 45 seconds? How about after an SMS text message from Mick Keelty?
Seeking further advice
Security officials in Jakarta have also played down the Australian warning, saying there is no intelligence to back the claim. Indonesian police say they have not received any information about an attack on a Hilton hotel, nor any other specific target, although government officials say there is always a danger, as extremists blamed for previous strikes remain at large.
Indonesia's deputy ambassador to Australia, Kristiarso Legowo, says he is seeking further advice from the Australian Government about the terrorism alert. Kristiarso Legowo says Indonesia is taking the threat seriously but it is up to individual Australians whether they want to remain in the country.
"It will be up to them to decide but again I just need to convey to them that of course from our part we will do our best to give them a sense of security," he said.
Foreign Minister Alexander Downer says Australians in Indonesia should avoid all international hotels and other places where foreigners gather.
"Terrorists can move targets very quickly," Mr Downer said?
Very quickly indeed and that tends to back up Downer's story about what happened when the terrorists changed their minds in the last minute to blow up the Australian Embassy?
Sounds like great propaganda!
Incredible intelligence?
He says the warning is based on credible intelligence but this is incredible because it backs up Downer and Keelty's claims about the Australian Embassy bombing in Jakarta and meant to give some type of credibility to those claims. Not just a coincidence.
Downer "We have had advice of a possible terrorist attack on Hilton hotels or possibly other Western hotels so we would urge Australians over the next period to keep well clear of these sorts of establishments," he said.
"We wouldn't be passing it on if we weren't particularly concerned about the information?"
Defence Minister Robert Hill has not changed his plans to visit Jakarta from today. He plans to stay in a hotel in the capital?
The Government warns Australians to avoid non-essential travel to Indonesia and says those already there who are concerned for their safety should consider leaving.
Downer's International backup?
The British Foreign Office has also warned Britons travelling to Indonesia over Christmas and the New Year that they face a heightened risk of terrorist attacks.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman says attacks could occur at any time anywhere in Indonesia and could be directed against locations frequented by tourists.
Japan's Foreign Ministry also issued a warning to Japanese nationals planning to visit or stay in Indonesia, saying it has obtained information a foreign hotel has become a likely terrorism target.
The Ministry has urged Japanese tourists to keep away from American and European hotels, or facilities where many people gather.
US embassy spokesman Max Kwak says the mission in Jakarta has issued no warning of a possible attack.
But one wonders who informed who ? Did Downer contact his International friends or did they contact him?
The manager of the Jakarta Hilton says the Australian warning lacks detail.
