西方国家驻印度尼西亚大使馆警告说，度假胜地巴厘岛可能在除夕夜发生恐怖袭击。
星期四，美国大使馆给旅居印尼的美国人发送电子邮件，敦促他们“低调”，并保持“警惕”。美国大使馆说，发出警告是根据巴厘岛省长巴斯蒂卡先前向当地的旅游董事会发出的警告，巴斯蒂卡提醒他们有迹象表明会发生袭击。
巴斯蒂卡要求人们不要惊慌，但是要保持全面戒备。
省长发言人否认巴斯蒂卡发出过这样的警告。
恐怖分子曾在2002年和2005年在巴厘岛发动造成破坏性极大的袭击，在受欢迎的饭店和酒吧制造了爆炸案，导致200多人死亡。
袭击中被定罪的大部分人都是激进组织“伊斯兰祈祷团”的盟友。
Western embassies in Indonesia are warning that an attack may take place on New Year’s Eve on the resort island of Bali.
The U.S. Embassy e-mailed Americans in Indonesia Thursday, urging them to keep a “low profile” and be “vigilant.” It said the alert was based on a message the governor of Bali sent the island’s tourism board warning there is an indication of an attack.
The message from Governor Mangku Pastika urges people not to panic, but to put their security system to full alert.
The governor’s spokesman is denying Pastika issued such a warning.
Bali was hit by devastating terrorist attacks in 2002 and 2005, when more than 200 people were killed by bombings on popular restaurants and bars.
Most of the people convicted in those attacks were allied with the militant group Jemaah Islamiyah.
