JAKARTA, Indonesia — Twenty-three Christians were massacred in Indonesia as they fled from their village in late July and early August, The Hindustan Times of India has reported. The report from Indonesia was relayed to U.S. media via Crosswalk.com, an Internet news and information site.
Christians are under threat of extermination by thousands of Jihad troops that have entered from outside the region, according to Newsroom, an online publication also cited by Crosswalk.com. The troops have announced over loudspeakers that they will kill all Christians who remain after July 31, Ambon church leaders told U.S. church workers.
The killings were the latest Muslim-Christian violence that has swept the Malukus Islands since January 1999, leaving about 4,000 dead, according to Crosswalk.com’s assessment of news reports.
Muslim assailants killed the latest victims as they tried to escape into the jungles of the Indonesian island of Ambon, a Christian activist told The Hindustan Times.
