Security tightened in Ambon
Indonesian police have tightened security in Ambon, the eastern Malukus main city,
as Muslim and Christian leaders start a peace campaign aimed at ending three years
of violence that has killed thousands of people.
Delegates of both sides agreed on the peace deal at a town outside the Moluccas on
Tuesday and are due to start explaining it to their respective religious groups.
Bomb blasts and protests occured after the signing, but police say the city is now
quiet and calm.
