Indonesian blast kills five

From correspondents in Jakarta, Indonesia
November 13, 2004
A BOMB on a minibus exploded today on Indonesia's Sulawesi island, killing 
five people and raising tensions in a region where religious fighting killed 
nearly 1000 people three years ago.

The bomb exploded at 9.15am local time (12.15pm AEDT) as the bus waited in a 
crowded market in the town of Poso, in Central Sulawesi province, Police 
Major Rudi Trenggono said. Three people were killed instantly on the bus and 
two victims later died at the hospital, he said.
Four others were injured.

Major Trenggonno said the bus was heading to the Christian village of 
Silancak.
He said no one had been arrested but police were searching for two men seen 
leaving the scene on a motorcycle.





"Witnesses saw the men put something in the minibus before running away," 
Major Trenggonno said.
Central Sulawesi has seen an increase in attacks and bomb blasts, mostly on 
Christians in the past year, with police blaming some of them on the 
al-Qaeda linked terror group Jemaah Islamiah.
The group - which also has been blamed for a string of terror attacks 
including the October 12, 2002, Bali bombing - wants to establish an Islamic 
state, and officials believe Jemaah Islamiah was trying to re-ignite 
communal fighting in Poso.
The town was a major battleground in fighting between Christians and Muslims 
three years ago, where about 1000 people were killed and tens of thousands 
of others displaced.
Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim nation, but Central Sulawesi 
has roughly equal Muslim and Christian populations. The province lies 1600 
kilometres northeast of the capital, Jakarta.
