Religious militants may be plotting to attack political rallies ahead of this year's elections, Indonesia's police chief Da'i Bachtiar has warned. Bachtiar is calling on the 20-plus parties contesting the polls to work with police to minimise the risk of violence. Parliamentary elections are due to be held in April, followed, in July, by the country's first-ever direct presidential vote. Political campaigning often turns bloody in Indonesia's five-year-old democracy. This year, however, recent terror attacks make election-related violence even more of a risk.
