Gunmen kill three, wound five in latest Ambon violence
JAKARTA, Nov 13 (AFP) - Gunmen shot dead three people and wounded five others in
a Christian area of the riot-hit eastern Indonesian city of Ambon early Tuesday, the
state Antara news agency said.
The shooting took place in the Teluk Dalam area. One of the wounded, a woman, was
in critical condition, the agency said. It gave no further details.
Two bombs killed two people and injured 20 others on Monday in the city in the
Maluku islands.
The islands have been ravaged by clashes between members of the Muslim and
Christian communities since January 1999. Some 5,000 people have been killed and
more than half a million driven from their homes.
