Ambon. A homemade bomb once again shook Ambon on Monday causing no injuries or deaths. Police suspect the bomb was made with materials dating back to World War Two.
“This morning at 3:00 a.m., there was a bomb explosion in the yard of AR in Karang Panjang, Ambon. The suspects are two men on a motorcycle who threw the pipe bomb,” said Insp. Gen. Saud Usman Nasution.
The suspects managed to escape.
Ambon has seen recent sectarian clashes between Muslim and Christian groups.
“Pipe bombs are common in Ambon. This is a trick from provocateurs to create chaos. Fortunately, the community is not influenced. This also happened last Saturday,” he said.
