Eight dead in religious fighting in Indonesia

Clashes in Indonesia between Christian and Muslim gangs armed with knives and homemade guns have left at least eight people dead.

Police say around 100 Christians attacked a Muslim district on the outskirts of Poso town, in Central Sulawesi province, late yesterday.

They say security forces opened fire on the attackers.

Six unidentified bodies were later brought to the town's main hospital.

Shortly after, police shot and killed two members of the Muslim paramilitary group Laskar Jihad who were traveling toward the trouble spot.

Around 200 members of the Laskar Jihad have recently arrived on the island from neighboring Maluku province, where the group is accused of stoking a sectarian conflict which has left around 9,000 people dead during the past three years.
