It noted there had been reports of both "general and specific" bomb threats and anonymous tip offs since the October 1 bombings."While this information cannot be corroborated, Australians should be aware that the Seminyak area in Bali has been mentioned as a potential target for terrorist attacks. Nightclubs popular with westerners in Seminyak are possible targets," it said.
