I had some Indonesian and Malay students in Singapore tonight, all of whom recieved anxious text messages from various people. The trouble has been brewing for months apparently. This is not an isolated incident from a particularly militant group.

All were very worried.

I too, when I heard, looked to see if media were covering it. Of course it's Sulawesi. If it was in Belgium it would be a different story.

I found none so I posted here. We are a source of information sharing. If it turns out to be false, I'd be more than relieved. Egg on face would be wonderful.

If true, I'd hope international awareness - and quick - would do something to prevent it. Pressure on Megawati to curtail the more radicaly violent movements in her nation.
