Gunbattle with suspected Indonesian militants kills 10 |

We guessed that... The raid took place on Sulawesi island, the scene of bloody fighting between Muslim and Christian gangs six years ago and sporadic bombings and shootings by Islamic extremists since then. The raid was part of a series of operations in recent weeks targeting Muslim militants on Sulawesi that police allege were behind scores of bombings, shootings and other attacks on Christian men, woman and children. On January 11, Poso police killed a man they said was a senior member of the al-Qaeda linked Jemaah Islamiyah, which was blamed for the 2002 Bali bombings and other deadly attacks in Indonesia in recent years. |
