Strong earthquakes jolt Manokwari: Two earthquakes in a spell of
two hours shook the Papuan town of Manokwari on Friday night.
Reports said the first tremor at 10:35 p.m. local time (8:35 p.m.
Jakarta time) measured at 4.0 on Richter scale, but the quake two
hours later hit 6.5. Damage to buildings and other structures
were being assessed while rescue workers and local people combed
houses for victims. Manokwari was jolted by massive tidal waves
caused by temblors in 1996. -- Antara
