US Embassy Issues New Year Attack Warning for Indonesia's Bali

The U.S. embassy in Indonesia says it has received warning of a New Year's Eve terrorist attack from the governor of the resort island of Bali.

On Thursday, New Year's Eve, the U.S. embassy sent e-mails to U.S. citizens quoting Bali's governor as saying that there was an indication of an attack in Bali.

The warning comes six months after twin suicide blasts killed seven people at luxury hotels in the capital, Jakarta.

The resort island of Bali has been hit hard by Islamic militants, with more than 220 people killed in suicide bombings targeting Westerners in 2002 and 2005.

In his warning letter, Bali's governor called on people to be alert, but gave no details about a specific threat.
