New death in restive Poso JAKARTA (AFP): The driver of a public minibus was Monday shot dead by a sniper in the Indonesian town of Poso in Central Sulawesi where sporadic Muslim-Christian violence has continued for the past four years, police said. "He was hit in the head and died on the spot," said Poso district police chief Abdi Darma Sitepu. The driver was killed while driving through downtown Poso at around 10:00 am, Sitepu said, adding the assailant remained unknown. Five passengers on the minibus were unhurt in the incident, which occurred as the vehicle was moving at a slow speed, Sitepu said. He declined to say whether the driver was Christian or Muslim. Members of both religious communities have been engaged in violence against each other since 2000. More than 1,000 people have since been killed. The government has sponsored peace talks in December 2002 but tension remains and occasional violence blights the area. In the latest incident of violence, a Christian village chief was beheaded in Poso on November 4. The perpetrators have not yet been apprehended.
