Christian couple shot in C. Sulawesi
INDONESIA: A Christian couple was shot on Saturday evening by unidentified
attackers in Palu, Central Sulawesi, a day after a teenage girl was shot and killed in
the same town by unidentified assailants.
The couple, identified as Pudji Laksono and Novlin, was returning home on a
motorbike from a church gathering when two men opened fire on them, witnesses said
as reported by news portal detik.com.
Pudji, a lecturer at Untad university, and his wife are now being treated at a hospital in
Palu.
On Friday, unidentified attackers shot at three teenagers, killing a girl.
Police are investigating similar attacks in the neighboring town of Poso, which several
years ago was the scene of a violent conflict between Christians and Muslims. -- JP
