Bombs found planted on Ambon
mosque
Workers in the Indonesian city of
Ambon have found two homemade bombs on the roof of the main
mosque, the scene of bloody Muslim-Christian clashes in the past.
Ambon military chief Colonel Yudhi Zanibarm says the two pipe
bombs were removed by the police anti-bomb squad and no one was
hurt.
The military chief says nine people are being questioned about the
discovery.
Since sectarian conflict broke out in Maluku in January 1999, more
than 5,000 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands made
homeless.
The government brokered a peace pact in February 2002 but sporadic
violence continues.
