Australia braced for more attacks

Australia warned today that terrorists could be planning another attack on its citizens in Indonesia, two days after a bomb killed nine people outside Canberra’s embassy in Jakarta.

Prime Minister John Howard said he had ordered ”bomb-proofing” at missions that don’t have it “because of the obvious success of the bombproofing at the windows of the Australian Embassy, and the evident role that bombproofing played in saving the lives of those employed at the embassy”.
