Attack injures two Christians, kills one Hindu

SULAWESI, Indonesia — Gunmen killed a 25-year-old Hindu woman and injured two Christian men in an attack in Central Sulawesi Oct. 13. Police said they believed the attack in Poso Pesisir district was committed by the same group who shot Christians Ferry Silalahi in May and Susianty Tinulele in July.

A second attack in the predominantly Christian village of Jono Oge Oct. 13 resulted in the deaths of Christians Sakeas Tesa and Yahya Yuta Jama. More violence erupted in South Sulawesi two days later, as Muslim villagers protested a law that placed their village under the Christian regency of Mamasa.
