THE
SITUATION IN AMBON / MOLUCCAS - Report No. 324
2002-11-04
|
Ambon, November 04, 2002
1.
KILLED BY GUNFIRE – Though the Laskar Jihads have left Ambon
and most terrorist cokers have been arrested, nevertheless there
seems to be no end to the bloodshed. At 8.30 p.m. on Sunday
November 3, two motorbike taxis (so-called “ojek”), when
passing through the Muslim Galunggung area, Ambon town, with their
respective passengers, were shot at by snipers, causing the death
of George Pieter Tuapetel, one of the drivers, and Mrs. Vera
Nanlohy, passenger on the other motorbike. The culprits escaped in
the darkness.
2. MOTORBOAT CAPSIZED – Yesterday an overcrowded
motorboat left from Jos Sudarso harbour, city of Ambon, bound for
Masohi on the island of Seram. Having sailed as far as a mere 500
meters it capsized. We learned that of the estimated 200
passengers, five were drowned and about 135 are in Al-Fatah
hospital. Several others are still missing.
