Jakarta, April 29 (IANS/AKI) Two Molotov cocktails were hurled at a church Friday on the Indonesian island of Java by unidentified motorcycle riders, witnesses said. No deaths or injuries have been reported.
The attack took place around 1 a.m. at the Pentecostal church in Sleman, Yogyakarta.
The church was cordoned off by police after the attack, priest Rev. Nico Lomboan said.
The incident occurred only a few day after 19 suspects were arrested for plotting to bomb a cathedral in Jakarta during Easter.
The national anti-terrorism agency said the suspects had placed a series of explosives near the church in Serpong area. The devices – some disguised as books – were timed to go off just as Good Friday services at the 3,000-seat Roman Catholic church were about to begin.
