SUSPECTED Bali bombing mastermind Abu Bakar Bashir has encouraged his supporters to attack this week's Indonesian legislative elections, according to a report.
The convicted terrorist has asked supporters not to be "unproductive" and to disrupt the polls, to be held on Wednesday, Police Lieutenant Colonel Adi Deriyan Jayamarta told Indonesia's Kompas news website.
He says police have already been warned by Indonesia's anti-terror forces that a terrorist network could be planning an attack.
The police chief, based in Malang, East Java, has ordered officers to stay in communication with religious leaders and approach any suspicious object with care, especially near polling stations.
"There's expert personnel who will handle it," he said on Monday.
"Don't think that you have some kind of 'blast-free magic' and handle it yourself."
According to Lt Col Adi, Detachment 88, Indonesia's counter-terror squad, had information from a terror suspect involved with a network "that has done military training for firearm and bomb usage".
Bashir, the founder of Jemaah Islamiah (JI), is serving 15 years in Nusa Kambangan, a high-security jail off the coast of central Java dubbed the Alcatraz of Indonesia.
He was acquitted over the 2002 Bali bombings, but was jailed over his role in setting up a terror cell in Aceh.
Indonesia's counter-terrorism agency chief in 2012 told AAP Bashir was still giving orders from behind bars, albeit to a group with a different name, but the same radical ideology as JI.
The bombing of two Kuta nightclubs in 2002 killed 202 people, including 88 Australians.
