Another tribal battle in Papua injures 13
Thirteen people have been wounded, two critically, in a bow-and-arrow tribal battle in
Indonesia's easternmost Papua province.
Private television station SCTV, which carried footage of the incident, says the battle
in the Timika area erupted because relatives of victims from an earlier conflict
remained dissatisfied.
Last month four people had died in a bow-and-arrow battle .
Police in Timika refused to discuss the incident when contacted by Agence France
Press.
