POSO, INDONESIA - A small bomb exploded Friday outside a Hindu temple on an Indonesian island that has been plagued by religious violence, wounding a man who was guarding the compound, police said. Hundreds of onlookers gathered around the temple after the blast, which seriously wounded the guard.FLASHBACK (2005):
Some 3,000 security personnel have been deployed to safeguard Poso, a city 1,000 miles northeast of Jakarta, since last year following a spate of attacks targeting Christians. Though Indonesia is predominantly Muslim, a large percentage of Poso's population is Christian and a small minority is Hindu. There were fierce battles between members of the two faiths in 2001 and 2002 that killed about 1,000 people.
A Christian man has been killed by decapitation in the latest attack against non-Muslims in the sectarian violence-hit eastern Indonesian town of Poso, police said on Friday. ...Poso has seen intermittent communal violence between Muslims and Christians since 2000 despite a government-brokered peace accord agreed two years ago.All this violence is Muslim versus non-Muslim. Do you think this has ANYTHING to do with Iraq or Israel or Halliburton!? You know what I think? I think that if-and-when Indonesia's Christians and Hindu's start fighting the Left'll still be blaming BusHitler and the Jews - I mean neo-cons!
Thursday's incidents followed the unsolved shooting of a man in the grounds of a church in Poso last month. ...
Also last month, a Hindu woman was killed and two Christian men wounded when a group fired randomly into houses in the region on the same day that two Christians were hacked to death near the provincial capital Palu.
