U.S. Embassy Jakarta
U.S. Consulate General Surabaya 
Warden Message
September 1, 2006

The U.S. Embassy reminds Americans of the continued serious security threat 
in Indonesia.  Terrorists continue to plan attacks against Westerners and 
Western interests in Indonesia. 

Likely sites for attacks are locations frequented by foreigners and 
identifiably American or other western facilities or businesses in Indonesia.  Such 
targets could include but are not limited to places where Americans and other 
Westerners live, congregate, shop or visit, including hotels, clubs, restaurants, 
shopping centers, identifiably Western businesses, housing compounds, 
transportation systems, places of worship, schools, or public recreation events.  
Reports suggest attacks could include targeting individual American citizens

The Embassy reminds Americans that protests and demonstrations may occur 
throughout Indonesia without prior notice or warning.  Even demonstrations and 
protests intended by their organizers to be peaceful can turn confrontational and 
escalate into violence. 

The Embassy reminds all Americans of the need to avoid crowds, to maintain a 
low profile, and to be vigilant about security at all times.  The information 
in the November 18, 2005 Travel Warning for Indonesia remains valid.  All 
security-related Travel Warnings and Public Announcements, recent Embassy warden 
messages, and registration information are posted on the Embassy’s website at 
http://jakarta.usembassy.gov. 

The Embassy is located at Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan, No. 4-5, Jakarta; the 
24-hour telephone number is 021-3435-9000.  The telephone number of the 
Consulate General in Surabaya is 031-295-6400; the telephone number of the U.S. 
Consular Agency in Bali is 0361-233-605.
