Three hristian schoolgirls on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi have been attacked and decapitated by unknown assailants. The 16-year-old girls were on their way to school near the town of Poso when two men on a motorbike caught up with them. The men attacked the girls with machetes, their heads were left at a police station and a church.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has condemned the beheadings as 'sadistic and inhuman crimes'; he also summoned the vice president and heads of police to an urgent meeting.
More than 2,000 people lost their lives in the same part of Sulawesi in serious violence between Christians and Muslims at the end of the 1990s.
