5 Injured in Indonesia Explosion
Two bombs have exploded in the Indonesian city of Ambon, site of Muslim-Christian fighting that has left at least 38 people dead in recent weeks. Police chief Leonidas Braksan told reporters Sunday that five people were injured in the first explosion, at least one of them seriously.

The French news agency, AFP, reports the bomb was hidden in a cookie tin and placed under a bench. It quotes Mr. Braksan as saying the bomb injured the young men who found the tin and tried to open it. Unidentified attackers set off a second bomb nearby about a half-hour later, injuring no one.

The blasts came a day after a visit by Indonesian president Megawati Sukarnoputri, who denied claims her government is not doing enough to combat a resurgence of Muslim-Christian violence in the area. Ambon was the scene of religious violence that took at least 5,000 lives between 1999 and 2002.
