A bomb on a minibus exploded on Saturday in Central Sulawesi, killing three people and raising tensions in a region where religious fighting killed nearly 1,000 people three years ago. The bomb exploded at 9:15 a.m. local time as the bus waited in a crowded market in the town of Poso, in Central Sulawesi province, Police Maj. Rudi Trenggono said. Three people were killed instantly on the bus and six others were injured. Trenggonno declined to identify the victims but acknowledged the bus was heading to the Christian village Silancak. Trenggonno said no one has been arrested but they were searching for two men seen leaving the scene on a motorcycle. "Witnesses saw the men put something in the minibus before bravely running away," he said. |
