The bomb, packed in a plastic bag, was discovered by Mince Muda inside a local
passenger bus traveling between Poso and Lembomawo, some witnesses said.
The bus driver then put it on the roadside near a soccer field and the village
administrative office to save the bus and passengers, they said.

witnesses said.
Today's bomb blast was the fifth within the past month. The last bomb exploded on
November 28 at Sintuwu Maroso shopping center, but there was no fatalities in the
