quote: The Indonesian embassy in London has advised Indonesians against travelling to Britain, citing fears of terrorism.
In a message posted on the embassy's website and dated April 7, the embassy advised Indonesian citizens to postpone all visits to the United Kingdom for unessential matters.
"Information that we have received indicates that since the recent bombing in Spain, the terrorism threat is moving to Great Britain, particularly to cities," the embassy message said.

That is curious. Is the article hinting that the Indonesian advisory is just a bit of tit for tat? I could believe that, although that doesn't make the likelihood of an attack in Britain any less. People in London especially seem to be assuming that one will come.
