Bomb explodes in Indonesian city
of Ambon
At least 54-people have been
injured after a series of explosions rocked Indonesia's troubled
city of Ambon.
Many people, including children have been seriously injured, in
what is believed to be a series of bombings.
Local police say the explosions occurred at a busy shopping area
in a predominantly Christian neighbourhood.
Ambon is the major city in the Maluku islands, where
Muslim-Christian violence has cost at least five-thousand lives in
the past three years.
The warring factions signed a peace agreement in February, but
tensions remain high in the area.
