Police Investigating Attacks on Two Indonesia Churches
Jakarta Globe | December 08, 2010

Jakarta. Police in Central Java are investigating two attacks on churches in 
the lead-up to Christmas.

Central Java Deputy Police Chief Brig. Gen. Sabar Raharjo told Metro TV that 
unknown assailants threw Molotov cocktails at the Jesus The King Catholic 
Church in Sukoharjo, Solo, on Tuesday.

No injuries were reported but the church's wall was damaged.

In a second attack on Sunday, though only reported on Wednesday, shots were 
fired through the windows of the Indonesia Muria Christian Church (GKMI) in the 
city of Solo.

Church official Sri Sarsiyah told Detik.com that they had filed a police 
report, complete with bullet fragments as evidence, and had sought police 
protection.

The church, on Jalan Kedempel 14, has a congregation of between 110 and 130 
people.

"We are still checking so we don't know anything yet," Central Java Police 
Insp. Gen. Edward Aritonang told Detik.com.

Sabar said two crude homemade bombs were also discovered outside the Pasar 
Kliwon Police Precinct in Solo on Tuesday.

Extremists in Indonesia have in the past used terrorist attacks over the 
Christmas period to foment anger between Muslims and Christians.
