Of they've advised people not to travel to Indonesia, especially Australia, which just said to ignore a Bali boycott.
Confused? Don't be. It's just another in a long line of warnings about unspecified terrorist events in unspecified locations on unspecified dates. If they issue warnings for long enough, something will hapen and they'll be able to say "I told you so".
Just go. Or don't.
What can we tell you? That it's safe? It might not be. But it probably is.
In a city of 18 million people, with thousands of hotels, what chance do you think there is that you'll be in the lobby of the hotel that may or may not be bombed on the one day that you are there?
Just stay away from the lobby around noon. (Since that's the one piece of "information" they have.)
Or reroute. It's up to you.
Be as afraid as you like.
