One dead, four hurt in bomb blast in east Indonesia
In Indonesia, a woman has been killed and four others injured after a bomb exploded
in the troubled Poso district of Central Sulawesi.
Police say the bomb was in a leather bag on a roadside and exploded when
passengers from a passing bus stopped to check the contents.
It's the first major violence in Poso since Christians and Muslims signed a peace pact
in December.
About a thousand people have been killed and tens of thousands made homeless
during two years of Muslim-Christian fighting in the Poso area which broke out in
2000.
