Indonesia raises airport security level

Indonesia has raised the security level for all airports in
response to recent terror attacks and threats.
Airports will have a greater presence of army personnel,
police and sniffer dogs after the level was raised from green
to yellow on Wednesday.
Transport Ministry Aviation Director General, Suprasetyo,
told reporters the ministry had information of a "threat to
security".
"The aviation security increase is due to Paris incident," he
said, as reported by Indonesian website Detik.com.
It was not clear what threat the official was referring to.
However, there was a bomb threat made to a Singapore
Airlines flight on Sunday and a Turkish Airlines flight from
New York was diverted to Canada.
A video was also circulating this week claiming to show
Indonesia's most wanted terror leader, Santoso, with black
Islamic State flags, threatening Jakarta police.
A 10-point memo was sent to all airports with instructions
including random vehicle checks, more sniffer dog patrols of
cargo and baggage and co-operation with army, police and
intelligence officers.
