Churches under terror alert December 24, 2006 12:00am Article from: Sunday Herald news.com.au TENS of thousands of police were deployed at churches across Indonesia today amid warnings by Western nations that Islamic militants may be plotting Christmas bombings. Indonesian officials downplayed the bulletins, which have become something of a tradition themselves since Christmas Eve bombings at churches across the world's most populous Muslim nation in 2000 killed 19 people. The US Embassy in Jakarta and Australian authorities warned that the threat of an attack over the holiday season was "serious" and "credible" and that foreigners could be targeted, but did not say on what the alert was based on. "The Australians and the Americans can say what they want, that is democracy," a police spokesman said. "But up until now we have not seen any frightening signs." Nevertheless, 18,000 officers had been deployed at churches in the capital, Jakarta and tens of thousands more will be on duty elsewhere in the sprawling nation, he said. Bomb squad officers planned to search Jakarta's Dutch-era cathedral for bombs and Christmas Eve worshippers at major churches would be frisked before they entered, he said. AP
