Indonesian vice president to witness weapons handover in Ambon city

Muslim fighters in the violence-torn Indonesian city of Ambon are due to hand over weapons and explosives to the Vice President, Hamzah Haz, during a brief visit.

The military says the Forum for Muslim Brotherhood of Maluku, which also includes members of the hardline Laskar Jihad militia, will lead Tuesday's handover ceremony.

Mr Haz is to make a one-day visit to Ambon, the capital of Maluku province, in a bid to find a solution to conflicts in the region and to follow up efforts to end the sectarian violence.

More than five-thousand people were killed and half a million made homeless.
