| Indonesians beating up foreigners |
| 2001-10-13 |
Two German tourists have been kicked and punched after being mistaken for Americans on Indonesia's Lombok island while other foreigners are being harassed there, state media and a tour operator said on Saturday. The incidents mark the first reports of assaults on foreigners in mainly Muslim Indonesia since Washington said it would hunt down Saudi-born militant Osama bin Laden over hijack attacks on the United States last month that killed 5,500 people. |
