UK amends travel advice for Indonesia

    LONDON, Jan. 1 (Xinhuanet) -- The British government revised its travel advice for Indonesia on Saturday, no longer advising against all but essential travel to the country.

    The British Fore ign Office earlier warned British people not togo to Indonesia over the Christmas and New Year period due to the threat of terrorist attacks.

    However, the ministry still said there remains "a high threat from terrorism" in the country.

    "We continue to receive reports that terrorists in Indonesia are planning further attacks on Westerners and Western interests. Attacks could occur at any time, anywhere in Indonesia and are likely to be directed against locations frequented by foreigners. Terrorists have shown in previous attacks, like the attack on the Australian Embassy and the Bali bombings, that they have the meansand the motivation to carry out successful attacks," the Foreign Office said in a statement.

    "We advise against travel to some parts of Maluku, especially Ambon, and some parts of Sulawesi, which are experiencing civilianunrest," the statement said.

    It also advised against all travel to Aceh, which has been hit by the devastating tsunami that struck on last Sunday, except for those involved in humanitarian operations. Enditem
