THE
SITUATION IN AMBON / MOLUCCAS - Report No. 270
2002-04-28
|
1. AGAIN FLAG HOISTING – Yesterday again two balloons – one
with an RMS flag – were launched over Ambon. Christians do not
react positively on these exhibitions of fanaticism. However,
several crowds of muslims in the city of Ambon reacted
emotionally, but they could be brought under control by the
security forces. This morning, too, two similar balloons were
spotted.
2. VILLAGE OF SOYA ATTACKED – From own sources we learn that
last night the Christian mountain village of Soya, at a distance
of about 5 kilometers East of the city of Ambon, was bombed by
mortars and attacked with gunfire. The upper village (Soya-Atas)
went up in flames. Eleven residents of Soya reportedly have been
killed. Brimob Police forces have been sent up to the site.
This morning several mortars were launched at Christian areas in
Tanah Lapang Kecil / Batugantung in Ambon.
