Landmine kills man in Ambon
A man has been killed after stepping on a landmine near the restive eastern
Indonesian city of Ambon.
The official Antara newsagency says the man died of injuries shortly after stepping on
the mine placed in a footpath on the outskirts of Ambon while returning from a hunting
trip.
Ambon has been troubled by violence between Muslims and Christians despite a
peace pact in February that is aimed at ending more than three years of sectarian
clashes there.
