Bin Laden materials found in hunt for Indonesian priest killer
Indonesian police hunting the gunman responsible for murdering a woman priest say
they have found video discs of speeches by al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
The discs and two books on Islamic teachings were found buried behind a house in
the coastal town of Donggala in Central Sulawesi province.
The house is believed to have been used for meetings by one of the four suspects in
last Sunday's attack on the Effata Presbyterian church, in the provincial capital of
Palu.
The attack was the latest in a series by suspected Islamic extremists on Christian
targets in the religiously mixed region.
Officials believe the attackers want to provoke a new round of Muslim-Christian
violence in the province.
