Crisis Centre Diocese of Amboina THE SITUATION IN AMBON / MOLUCCAS Report no. 71 In various neighbourhoods of Ambon last night there was quite some bombing and launching of mortars. However no substantial damage was reported. Today the Governor, the military chief commander and the police chief commander left for Jakarta, among other things to report on the effect of the Civil Emergency State during three months, to ask for additional security forces etc. Among the christians there are rumours that there are undeniable indications that attacks are to be carried out by Laksar Jihad troops on the neighbourhoods of Benteng, Kudamati and Batugantung tomorrow or at least within a few days.
