Bali has been placed on high alert after police received a tip-off of a planned attack on a commemoration ceremony marking 10 years since the island’s first terrorist blasts.
"It is a class A1 threat, indicating the high possibility of an attack," said Bali police chief,l Budi Gunawan.
Police said it is based on "credible information" that suggests VIPs are being targeted.
Security on the island has been stepped up ahead of this week’s ceremony, to be attended by 3,000 victims and families, mostly from Australia, as well as Australian prime minister Julia Gillard and former premier John Howard.
