Four dead, 17 injured in bus blast in Indonesia's riot-hit Poso
A bomb that ripped through a crowded bus in eastern Indonesia has killed four people
and injured 17.
The national police chief says the blast near Poso in Central Sulawesi was an attempt
to provoke further clashes between Muslims and Christians in the area after a
December peace deal.
An estimated 500 to one-thousand people were killed and tens of thousands made
homeless during two years of intermittent sectarian fighting.
