COPENHAGEN, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Denmark said it had received information about terror attacks on Monday against international rescue workers in Indonesia's Aceh province, devastated by the Dec. 26 tsunami."We have received information from sources abroad that somebody would be planning an attack today," Danish foreign ministry official Niels Erik Andersen told national public service broadcaster DR.
Earlier, the ministry said in a statement it had "received information that imminent terror attacks are being planned against foreign rescue workers" in Aceh. It did not elaborate on the nature of the threat or the origin of the information.
A Danish aid worker in Aceh's capital Banda Aceh said he and his colleagues had been briefed about a threat to a relief group active in an area of Sumatra some 180 km (110 miles) from Banda Aceh.
An Indonesian government spokesman said the militant Free Aceh Movement (GAM) could be behind the threat.
Separately, religious fundamentalists in staunchly Muslim Aceh, who want independence for their gas-rich province, have expressed anger over what they say is proselytising by Christian aid groups involved in post-tsunami relief efforts.
For my part, I hope there is Christian proselytising going on. I gave to the relief efforts through a group that gives food and water but also says the reason that it is being given: the love of Christ. And that is the ONLY reason.
But a GAM spokesman in Sweden, where several of the movement's leaders live in exile, said GAM was not planning any attacks.

Miss Catherine I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiments.
This ingratitude is too much, even for me. I have to admit that I am not surprised because I have been warned, thanks to JW/DW. If one of these attacks should occur (I pray it will not), immediate action should be taken. As I see it, there are basically two options. Option number one is the Rambo option. Send all available troops (U.S. and Royal Marines, Green Berets, SAS, Gurkhas) on a search and destroy mission to find these assholes. Don't bother asking the Indonesian gov't or the f***ing UN what they think, their opinion is irrelevant anyways. Option two, which is equally unsavory, is called the "Let them eat s**t" option. This is where ALL aid workers are air lifted out and ALL humanitarian aid is suspended immediately to those areas where the targeting takes place. Countries such as India, Sri Lanka and Thailand which do not target aid workers will not be affected by this. Harsh as it sounds, it is the only way. We should offer NO apologies about Christians sharing the love of Jesus Christ either. We owe these ingrates ZIP!
If this keeps up, the only aid that should be given to Indonesia are bags and bags of nice salty, crispy bar-b-q'd pork rinds.
And bottles of guaranteed Kosher water.
