JAKARTA (Reuters) - Police have ordered churches in the Indonesian city of Solo to dig holes to throw away suspicious objects that might be bombs, a newspaper said on Friday, amid fears of Christmas-related attacks.

Police across the world's most populous Muslim country have been stepping up security measures ahead of the year-end holidays to avoid a repeat of 2000 Christmas Eve bombings of churches in several Indonesian cities which killed 19 people.

"If there is any suspicious object, whether it could be a bomb or not, it can be thrown straight away into the hole. After that, report to the police so that it can be investigated," Koran Tempo newspaper quoted Solo police chief Abdul Madjid as saying.

Madjid added that besides digging the one-metre (3 ft) deep holes, churches should tell their congregations to only bring essential items to Christmas events and avoid carrying backpacks.
