1. TIMELY DETECTION OF BOMBS – Today
two homemade bombs were found on the roof of the Al-Fatah Mosque, the principal
Muslim House of Worship in Ambon. Workers that happened to be on the roof
discovered the pipe bombs and informed the police, who then secured the lethal
devices. Residents were shocked but not provoked and the situation in the city
remained calm.
2. VISITING AMBON – The Ministry of
Foreign Affairs in Jakarta has decided not to issue an entry permit for the
Moluccas to foreigners that are residents of the Netherlands, starting on March
11 up to April 25, 2003. Thus was announced by the local Civil Emergency
Administrator. This measure has undoubtedly to do with an effort of minimizing
the possibility of unrest on and around April 25, the annual commemoration of
RMS Independence day.
