THE
SITUATION IN AMBON / MOLUCCAS - Report No. 356
2003-13-03
|
Ambon, March 13, 2003
1.
TIMELY DETECTION OF BOMBS - Today two homemade bombs were
found on the roof of the Al-Fatah Mosque, the principal Muslim
House of Worship in Ambon. Workers that happened to be on the roof
discovered the pipe bombs and informed the police, who then
secured the lethal devices. Residents were shocked but not
provoked and the situation in the city remained calm.
2. VISITING AMBON - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in
Jakarta has decided not to issue an entry permit for the Moluccas
to foreigners that are residents of the Netherlands, starting on
March 11 up to April 25, 2003. Thus was announced by the local
Civil Emergency Administrator. This measure has undoubtedly to do
with an effort of minimizing the possibility of unrest on and
around April 25, the annual commemoration of RMS Independence day.
