Ambon, August 19, 2003

1. RMS FLAGS RAISED – In the early morning of Indonesia’s 58th commemoration of Independence Day, August 17, two flags of the separatist RMS movement were detected flowing at bamboo stakes in the Kudamati area of the city of Ambon. However, this incident did not disturb the general elation of thousands of citizens that assembled on and around the city’s festivity square, not only to hear the usual ceremony and speeches, but also to watch parachutists descend from above and popsingers perform on the stage.

2. LETHAL DEVICE SECURED – An employee of ours happened to witness a big bomb being neutralized by security forces today at 11.30 a.m. It was found hidden in a plastic shopping bag, behind a minishop near the bridge not far from the Public Works office at Mardika, city of Ambon.
