CIA issued Bali warning

The CIA issued a warning in September about a potential terrorist threat to Bali and other tourist resorts in south-east Asia, a US intelligence source said yesterday, provoking new questions over whether the attack could have been foiled.
The CIA warning was more specific than has been officially acknowledged and it fuelled a growing row - not only in Washington but also in London and Canberra - over whether Indonesia could have acted sooner against Islamist militants or whether tourists could have been given more warning of the dangers of travelling to resorts like Bali. - Guardian
