Indonesia – A woman was killed Saturday night when a bomb went off in Poso, Central Sulawesi, only two days after a homemade bomb exploded and killed a man there.
Witnesses said the victim, 20-year-old Nela Saliango, had spotted a flashlight-shaped object outside her house on Jl. Tabatoki in Kawua. When she picked it up, it exploded. She died in the hospital.
Central Sulawesi Police spokesman Adj. Sr. Comr. S. Kilat said they were still investigating the incident, which occurred at 8:25 p.m. Police had secured the area and questioned witnesses.
When asked whether Saturday's explosion was related to the blast Thursday in a coastal area of Poso, he said no link had been established, but police were yet to name suspects in Thursday's incident.
As of Saturday, police had not identified the chemicals used in the bomb.
