Missing refugees rescued
Indonesian authorities have rescued 150 refugees from a boat that was missing at sea for two
days off the North Maluku islands.
Port officials say the boat was found adrift after suffering engine trouble.
The refugees have been taken home to Loloda, some 100 kilometres north of Ternate island.
Their vessel had left Ternate harbour on Tuesday to repatriate the refugees, who had fled fled
violent clashes between Christians and Muslims about a year ago.
